Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Cream together the softened or browned unsalted butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, blending until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Scoop the dough into small balls and roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet with at least 2 inches of space between each.
  8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set and centers look slightly underdone.
