Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into balls (about 1½ tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Make sure your butter is softened but not melted to ensure the right texture.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies soft and tender.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky or your kitchen is warm.’, ‘Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements.’, ‘The cookies taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together.’]
