Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown with a nutty aroma.
  2. Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs: Crack in 2 large eggs into the mixture. Whisk vigorously until fully incorporated, achieving a thick batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
