Description

Savor the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter combined with the warm, sweet spice of cinnamon in these delightful cookies. Known as Brown Butter Cinnamon Sugar Delights, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into a scrumptious treat ideal for gatherings, special occasions, or a cozy night in. The cookies’ signature feature is their aromatic brown butter base, enhanced with cinnamon’s subtle heat and dusted with a gentle layer of powdered sugar for a delicate finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 tablespoons butter, sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter Place the sliced butter in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until melted and foamy. Continue to whisk or swirl the pan until the butter turns a golden amber color, typically taking 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside for later use.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients In the saucepan with the cooled brown butter, mix both granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the saucepan, stirring until just incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Step 5: Prepare for Baking Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
  6. Step 6: Shape and Bake Divide the chilled dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon sized balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set.
  7. Step 7: Cooling Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
