Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and nutty.
  2. Transfer the browned butter to a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes, then whisk in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 tbsp of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, spacing them 2 inches apart, and bake for about 12 minutes.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
