Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies

Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies are possibly the coziest cookie to ever exist. They’re sweet, full of brown butter and cinnamon goodness coated in melt in your mouth powdered sugar that gives them the perfect crinkle look!

I wish I was baking something bright and lemony. Maybe a strawberry cake or a coconut cupcake would be more season-appropriate…it is the first week of Spring and all.

Alas, I’m not. But I have to say, while I am not loving the weather here in the northeast (brrr). I AM loving the extra cozy clothes days. I’m not quite ready to show these legs to the world yet. Pass the cookies, please.

• 10 tablespoons butter, sliced
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
3. Add the granulated and brown sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Pour the cooled butter into the sugars and mix on medium speed to combine. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing just until smooth.
4. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
