How to Make

Scoop dough into equal balls and place them on the baking sheet.

Leave space between cookies as they will spread.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.

Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool slightly.

To prepare the glaze, melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add milk and bring to a gentle boil for 1 minute.

Spoon warm glaze over cooled cookies and let set.
