Servings: 15 cookies
Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With mixing speed on low, add the egg and mix until combined.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Using a standard-size cookie scoop, form balls, smooth them, and then roll the cookie dough balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a cookie sheet and bake immediately or chill dough for 1 hour before baking.
- Bake cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 9-11 minutes. They will look soft, but as long as they are set on the edges, they will firm up as they cool. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

-Cornstarch is optional, but it makes these cookies softer and chewier in the center, with a crispier outside.
-I sometimes add ¼ to ½ tsp of cinnamon to the batter for even more cinnamon flavor.
STORE cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To FREEZE, place baked cookies or unbaked dough in a freezer-safe container or bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
REHEAT cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 3–5 minutes. Microwave for 10–15 seconds for a quick option. Bake frozen dough directly, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
