Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until browned and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix the browned butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar until creamy, then add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, combining well.
  4. Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl before gradually mixing into the wet mixture.
  5. Drop balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden around the edges but soft in the center.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
