Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Set this aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Incorporate the milk: Stir in ¼ cup of milk until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now you can enjoy your chewy cookies!
