Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups (250 g) packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the butter and brown sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour, baking soda, fine sea salt, and ground cinnamon until just combined.
- Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes to control spread.
- Scoop dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls, roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the rolled balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
For best results, use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for consistent creaming and a silicone mat for even browning.
