Hello lovelies!! I hope you're having a great week so far!!

Today's recipe is absolutely perfect for fall.

These Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Cookies are delicious and so, so easy to make.

I first made them for a Habitat for Humanity fundraiser, and then again a couple weeks later for a BBQ. They are so addicting, you'll find yourself craving them long after they're gone! 

Everyone who has taste tested them, raves about them. They are buttery, soft and chewy. My daughter compared them to a snickerdoodle the first time she tried them.

The cinnamon flavor is perfect for this time of the year. It's one of my favorite fall flavors, right along with pumpkin and apple. 

Cinnamon has SO many health benefits too! 

I can't testify those health benefits are still valid with all the butter and sugar in these cookies, but let's roll with it!

Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, along with a few other things.

I just love how easy these cookies are to make.

Prep time is minimal and because these cookies are small, you can fit a lot of them on one large baking sheet. 

I can't wait to make them again and try adding some goodies in such as mini chocolate chips or m&m's, nuts or even oatmeal. The possibilities are endless!

We tend to eat a lot of cinnamon at our house. My daughter and I both love buttery cinnamon sugar toast, sprinkle it on top of rice pudding or use it in french toast.

Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Cookies

Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Cookies

Yield: 36 cookies
Author: Hot Eats and Cool Reads
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 10 MinTotal time: 20 Min

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter, room temp (3/4 cup)
  • 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, beat well. Gradually add flour mixture and beat until mixed.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop to drop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

Notes:

Most recipe testers loved the recipe as-is, but a few stated it was too salty. The baking soda can be decreased to one teaspoon and if you're using salted butter, you can omit the salt completely.


You can substitute light brown sugar for dark.


Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

  8. I made these today but only made half a batch using a medium egg and they turned out wonderful! They were soft and chewy and not overly sweet. Thank you for such a wonderful but simple recipe that turned out over the top. I'm thinking about making another half batch and adding some raisins to the batter.

  11. Just made these! Only used 1 & 1/2 cup flour and added 1/4 cup oats and 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts. When they came out I drizzled melted bakers chocolate on it. So perfect!! Just the right amount of sweetness. I may add more cinnamon next time but I’d be happy to make these again!

  12. Would light Brown sugar work fine?

  13. These cookies are simply amazing. How have I never stumbled upon this recipe until now??? Used my Vietnamese cinnamon from the King Arthur Flour Company, omitted the chips and rolled the tops in holiday sprinkles. Oh my! (And, thank you.)

  14. These were incredibly tasty. I used gluten-free flour and subbed 1/4 cup of applesauce instead of the egg so that my allergy-ridden son could enjoy, and we both loved the results.

    1. Refrigerating the dough beforehand might help with that! Glad you tried them!

  16. I loved these cookies. I am a chocolate lover, but these could easily replace my chocolate cookies. They were delicious, moist and baked perfectly. I didn’t have any dark brown sugar so used light brown sugar and it worked great. I will definitely be making these again!! Such an easy recipe.

  17. Delish! Just made them. Love them. Will be in my favorite recipe collection.

  18. Can you substitute light butter for regular butter? On a diet and trying to cut calories anyway possible ��

    1. Hi! I don't recommend using light butter for baking. It has a higher water content then regular and will change the texture and how the cookies bake. Thanks!

  19. What if I add Butterscotch Chippits...

  20. Just made these cookies, Delicious, although they didn't crackle on the top so I wonder what I did differently.

    1. I've seen alot of discussion lately about the quality of butter being different than it used to be. That may have something to do with it. So glad you liked them. Thanks for commenting!

  21. My these are awesome cookies. Not overly sweet. I used almond butter and no salt. Turned out great.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The cookies are so good. I tweaked the recipe i only added 1 teaspoon of baking soda and added another 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon I love cinnamon. I aded a 1/2 cup pecans they were so good. The 2 teaspoons baking soda was to much.

    ReplyDelete
  23. These are definitely going in my major rotation! I'm going to experiment with the brown sugar and cinnamon quantities, but ain't a thang wrong as writ. (I did use unsalted butter and 1.5 tsp of soda, since I like crisper cookies.) Now I see somebody else already added another 3/4 tsp! seems like a lot, thanks, Unknown. Pecans, hmmm? :)
