Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan by melting 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat for 5–8 minutes until golden brown and nutty.
  2. Mix cooled brown butter with 1 cup each of brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until creamy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs to the mixture and mix until glossy and combined, taking about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  5. Chill the dough covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes.
  7. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
