Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until glossy.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and optionally roll in coarse sugar.
- Space the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
Notes
For softer centers, remove cookies at the lower end of the baking time. If dough feels too soft, chill for 15 minutes.
