Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt and cook the butter until it reaches a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Watch carefully to avoid burning, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir together until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
  3. Add Eggs: Whisk the eggs into the sugar and butter mixture until the batter becomes glossy and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to form the cookie dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up and allows the flavors to meld for better texture and taste.
  6. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough balls and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Be attentive while browning the butter to avoid burning, which will impart a bitter taste.
  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and maintain the cookies’ shape.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a cinnamon sugar sprinkle on top before baking.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
