brown sugar cookies

My boyfriends family is having a bbq this weekend and I wanted to bring something for dessert. I wanted to bring something easy to eat since there will be a lot of people and I didn't want to make a mess so I decided on brown sugar cookies. These cookies are amazing! They have the perfect amount of brown sugar and are so soft. And to top it off I put a browned butter glaze on top. So good!
