Answer 3

You can probably make really good shortcakes with what you have on hand.  Make a caramel glaze out of the brown sugar and butter and add vanilla and some powdered sugar to add some richness.

Answer 4

You can make delicious shortbread cookies out of this. The brown sugar gives it a caramel-y flavor, and the butter keeps it crisp.

Shortbread

1 cup flour

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together until butter is fully incorporated (it will be crumbly). Press into a 9" square pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until it just starts to turn golden around the edges. Cool slightly then cut and transfer to a rack to finish cooling. This is one cookie that is best when it is completely cool - the texture and flavor are much better.
