Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until distributed evenly throughout.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have room to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an allergy-friendly version, substitute nuts with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds. These cookies also freeze well for up to three months.
