1 cup (200 g) White granulated sugar
¾ cup (165 g) Light brown sugar packed
2 large Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tsp Baking powder
½ tsp Salt
2½ cups (310 g) All-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Brown the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
1 cup Unsalted butter
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
1 cup White granulated sugar, ¾ cup Light brown sugar, 2 large Eggs, 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking powder and salt. Gradually fold in the flour until a smooth dough forms.
2 tsp Baking powder, ½ tsp Salt, 2½ cups All-purpose flour
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them between your palms. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
¼ cup White granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Bake: Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Beat until smooth and creamy. If needed, add an extra tablespoon of milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
½ cup Unsalted Butter , 1½ cup Powdered Sugar, 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon , 1 - 2 tbsp Milk , 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of the cinnamon sugar frosting on each cookie.
Decoration: Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar over the frosted cookies.
