Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar For sweetness
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar For additional sweetness
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract For flavor
Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda For leavening
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Generous for flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional for added richness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Once the dough is ready, portion out the dough into equal-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Cooling
  1. As the cookies cool, they will continue to firm up and fill your home with enticing aromas.
  2. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

For the best results, make sure your butter is softened, chill the dough to reduce spreading, and feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg. For an indulgent treat, consider serving them warm with a scoop of ice cream.
