Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but cool
- 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- Make the Cookie Dough: Cream together cooled butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla extract, egg, and yolk; mix well. Gradually stir in flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt until a dough forms.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the cinnamon sugar mixture into the cookie dough until just combined.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet, spaced about two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling before enjoying.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Use fresh spices, especially cinnamon, for the best flavor.
- Measure flour correctly by spooning it into the cup and leveling.
- Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are lightly golden.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
