These cookies evoke nostalgic comfort and are perfect for sharing or enjoying alone. Quick to prepare and bake, they fill your home with an inviting aroma and are ideal for any occasion.

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, gently melt the unsalted butter and cook until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. This process enhances the flavor of the cookies.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter: Transfer the browned butter to a mixing bowl and blend it with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Eggs: Whisk in the two large eggs one at a time until the batter becomes glossy, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to form a dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps to solidify the dough, making it easier to shape and improving the texture of the cookies.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them evenly spaced on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges become golden and crisp while the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Make sure to brown the butter carefully; watch closely as it can go from browned to burnt quickly.
  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and to develop flavor.
  • Cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
