Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter Cookies


  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Roll the Dough

  1. If desired, mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl for rolling.
  2. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  3. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture (if using) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

5. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Enjoy every bite of these soft, spiced, and indulgent Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter Cookies!
  2. Perfect as a standalone treat or paired with a glass of milk, coffee, or tea for extra indulgence.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh butter and spices ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overbake: These cookies are meant to be soft and chewy, so remove them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers are still slightly underbaked.
  • Add Variety: Stir in chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or raisins for added texture and flavor.
  • Store Properly: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze the dough or baked cookies for longer storage.
