Brown sugar cookies?

Question

A long time agao, I had some brown sugar cookies that were very thick, and had LOTS of brown sugar in them. They weren't like a normal sugar cookie, because when you bit into it, it was almost like a big hunk of brown sugar binded with a little bit of flour, or something. They were very dark, so probally had molasses in them, But like I mentioned, they were mostly sugar. Any recipes out there?
