Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create uniform thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with additional ground cinnamon or powdered sugar before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened, but not melted, for the perfect cookie texture • Use fresh, high-quality ground cinnamon for the most robust flavor • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense cookies • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain softness for up to 5 days • For extra indulgence, try rolling the cookie dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking
