Print Recipe

These buttery brown sugar cinnamon cookies are cozy, simple, and irresistibly comforting, perfect for an afternoon treat or holiday cookie platter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional: coarse sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until glossy and smooth.
  5. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls; roll in coarse sugar if desired.
  8. Space the dough balls on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
