Ingredients

Cookies

Cinnamon Sugar

Vanilla Glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Cookies

  • In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Continue cooking butter over medium heat until brown bits form on the bottom of the pan and butter has become an amber color.
  • Pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl and let cool completely.
  • Once butter has cooled, add in brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and corn syrup. Whisk until fully combined.
  • Next, add in flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough for 30-45 minutes.

Cinnamon Sugar

  • In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.

Vanilla Glaze

  • Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a 1- inch cookie scoop, roll dough into balls and then roll into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to get slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
  • Let cookies cool completely, then drizzle with vanilla glaze and enjoy.

Notes

  • Watch the butter carefully while browning. It can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly.
  • Allow the butter to cool before adding the eggs.
  • Chill the dough to help prevent spreading.
  • Don't overbake. The cookies will continue setting as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before adding the glaze.
