Cinnamon Brown Butter Cookies (Printable Version)

Soft, golden cookies with a nutty brown butter flavor and warm cinnamon notes.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Butter

01 - 227 grams unsalted butter

→ Sugars

02 - 100 grams granulated sugar
03 - 110 grams brown sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 2 large eggs

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 240 grams all-purpose flour
06 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat the oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, then let it cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, blend the browned butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
04 - Add eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
05 - Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
06 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
07 - Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each portion approximately 5 cm apart.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
09 - Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Browning the butter is essential to develop the signature rich, nutty flavor. Allow the butter to cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs when combined with sugars.
02 - For a chewier texture, remove cookies from the oven slightly before the edges are fully set.
