Print Recipe

A delectable twist on the classic snickerdoodle, these cookies feature rich, nutty brown butter and a warm hint of cinnamon for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns light brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and coat in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  8. Place the cookie balls on a lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to improve flavor and texture.
