Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until nutty and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the browned butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

- Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use high-quality cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Chilling dough for 30 minutes can result in thicker cookies.
- Do not overbake to keep centers soft.
- Optional: sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added flavor and texture.
