Ingredients

Scale

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

Sugars and Eggs

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Bake Brown Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, cooking it until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  3. Combine Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter together with the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed in before adding the next.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  7. Prepare Cookies for Baking: Scoop portions of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookie edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes to set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs ensures better mixing and texture.
  • Allow brown butter to cool slightly before combining with eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
