Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp whole milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
While cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
Experiment with fillings like fruit preserves or chocolate chips for a twist on flavor.
