Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Brown the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat until it turns a deep amber color and smells nutty. Let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the brown butter with granulated and brown sugars until light in color. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain. The dough should be soft and glossy.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- For the coating, sift together the powdered sugar in one bowl, and in another bowl, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon.
- Scoop dough into 1.5 inch balls, roll in powdered sugar first, then in cinnamon-sugar.
- Place coated balls on the baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly underdone.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes for best texture. You can freeze the dough or baked cookies for later use.
