Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined to form a dough.
Step 3: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4: Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are softly set and a light golden color around the edges. They should remain chewy.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough before baking.
Try adding chopped nuts or raisins for texture and variety.
If you prefer a stronger cinnamon taste, increase the cinnamon to 3 teaspoons.
Use light brown sugar for a milder sweetness or dark brown sugar for more depth.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if you prefer them warm.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can chill the dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This helps the flavors develop and makes the dough easier to handle.

How do I keep my cookies chewy instead of crunchy?

Bake the cookies until just set and slightly golden at the edges. Removing them promptly from the oven and allowing them to cool on the baking sheet helps maintain their chewy texture.
