Description
These cookies are rich, buttery, and flavored with warm cinnamon and brown sugar, giving them a soft and chewy texture with a slightly crisp edge.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups brown sugar (light or dark)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For Rolling:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the Oven – Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter & Sugar – In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Cookies – Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball, and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
Cool & Serve – Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!
Notes
- For extra softness: Add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
- For a deeper flavor: Use dark brown sugar instead of light.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
