Description
Cinnamon Brown Butter Cookies are Soft, warmly spiced cookies made with browned butter and cinnamon for a rich flavor and tender texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until lightly browned and nutty in aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Add eggs and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps enhance flavor and prevent spreading.
- For extra warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom.
- Cookies firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
