Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter room temp
  • 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • For rolling: ¼ cup granulated sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, or in a medium bowl using a hand-mixer, beat together the butter and sugars (both dark + granulated) for about 3 minutes until well combined and pale in color. 
  • To the bowl, add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat to combine for about 1 minute. 
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. Gently mix together. 
  • In increments of three, add the dry ingredients into the wet until combined and a dough forms. 
  • Grab a parchment lined baking sheet and roll the dough into 2 tablespoon size balls. Roll through the additional ¼ cup sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and place on the baking tray. They can be touching here. Put in the fridge for at least an hour, up to overnight. 
  • When ready to bake, take your cookies out of the fridge and allow them to come down closer to room temp while you preheat your oven to 350℉. Bake the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet for 14-16 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet. 
  • Enjoy!
