These cozy buttery brown sugar cinnamon cookies are simple to make and perfect for fall, featuring a rich buttery texture and warm cinnamon flavor that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture might look slightly curdled.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg if using.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped nuts if desired.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use freshly ground cinnamon for best flavor. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and melt-in-your-mouth. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
