  • Total Time: 32 minutes

Ingredients

  • Unsalted Butter: 1 cup (Browned for added flavor)
  • Brown Sugar: 1 cup (Light or dark, depending on preference)
  • Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Large Eggs: 2 (At room temperature)
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon (For extra flavor)
  • All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups (Sifted for better mixing)
  • Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon (Leavening agent)
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon (Balances sweetness)
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (Adds warmth)
  • Powdered Sugar: 1/2 cup (For glaze)
  • Milk: 1-2 tablespoons (For glaze consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring until it turns brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

  6. Scoop Dough: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  8. Prepare Glaze: For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
  9. Glaze Cookies: Once cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze on top.
  10. Enjoy: Enjoy your warm, chewy brown butter cinnamon cookies!

Notes

Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor. Let the butter cool slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs. Chill the dough for 30 minutes if needed to prevent spreading.
