Make these soft and chewy brown sugar cinnamon cookies. They capture the warm spice of the season with a rich, buttery base, perfect for a comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small, shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for rolling.
  7. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and roll each ball lightly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
  8. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you prefer a crispier edge, slightly increase the baking time by one minute.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling if your kitchen is warm, which helps prevent spreading.
