Delicious cookies with a rich, nutty flavor from brown butter and a classic cinnamon taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it’s light brown and nutty.
  3. Combine the browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Roll cookie dough into small balls, then coat in a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon.
  8. Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet with enough space between them.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
