Servings: 14 cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
For the cinnamon sugar topping:
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- First brown the butter by adding it to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, whisk constantly until the butter turns a nice golden amber color and gives off a nutty smell, about 2-4 minutes. Remove immediately from the stovetop and add to a large bowl to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- While the butter is cooling, add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine everything and set aside.
- Once the butter has finished cooling, add the sugars and mix together with an electric or stand mixer for 1 minute. Then, add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until everything is just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Add the 3 tbsp sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix together.
- Scoop out 2 tbsp of dough and roll into a ball and then roll the dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place each dough ball on the baking sheet making sure to space about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until slightly golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
