Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Flavor and Texture Enhancers:
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups white chips
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare your workspace for cookie magic.
- Cream 1 ½ cups brown sugar with 1 cup room temperature butter using a mixer at medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk to the mixture. Pour in 1 tbsp vanilla extract and blend for 1 minute until completely combined.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp kosher salt, and ½ tsp baking soda into the bowl. Mix for 30 seconds until evenly distributed.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually incorporate 2 ½ cups flour and 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips, stirring until the dough looks uniform.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake cookies at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until edges turn light golden and centers appear almost set.
- Keep cookies on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up slightly. Transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling before serving.
Notes
- Brown sugar adds deep caramel flavor and helps create a soft, chewy cookie texture that stays moist for several days.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and create a more compact, structured cookie shape.
- White chocolate chips provide sweet contrast to the warm cinnamon, but feel free to swap with dark or milk chocolate for different flavor profiles.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smooth blending and consistent cookie texture, which helps create evenly baked treats.
