Buttery Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cookies are everything a cozy, comforting cookie should be—soft, chewy, warmly spiced, and rich with deep caramel notes from brown sugar. These cookies bake up with perfectly tender centers, lightly crisp edges, and a sparkling cinnamon-sugar exterior that makes every bite feel nostalgic and indulgent. They’re wonderfully simple to prepare, yet they deliver bakery-level flavor and texture.
The dough comes together quickly, relying on brown sugar for moisture and chew, while cinnamon adds warmth that pairs beautifully with the buttery base. Chilling the dough for just 20 minutes helps the cookies bake thicker and enhances that melt-in-your-mouth texture. Rolling each dough ball in cinnamon sugar gives the cookies a delightful crunch and a gorgeous, crackly finish.
These cookies are ideal for holiday trays, after-school treats, or anytime you want something comforting and aromatic. As they cool, the flavors deepen and the texture becomes even chewier. A final dusting of cinnamon sugar fresh from the oven creates that sparkling top that makes them look as irresistible as they taste.
