Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Stir constantly until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing!
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is chilling.
  8. Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: Keep a close eye on the butter as it browns; it can go from perfect to burnt quickly! Don’t skip the chilling step, as this helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the flavor.
