Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, ensuring complete incorporation and a smooth mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional ground cinnamon on top of each cookie dough ball for extra cinnamon intensity.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, maintaining their soft and chewy texture.
Tips
- • Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture. • Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender. • For extra cinnamon lovers, try rolling the cookie dough balls in a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking. • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking. • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking. • For maximum softness, slightly underbake the cookies - they'll continue to set as they cool. • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to help maintain moisture and softness. • These cookies freeze beautifully - make a double batch and save some for later!
