Buttery Brown Sugar Cinnamon Cookies are soft, cozy, slice‑of‑fall cookies with a rich brown sugar base, warm cinnamon, and a sweet sugar coating that adds just the right amount of crunch. They bake up with golden edges, tender centers, and a fragrant spice aroma that makes them perfect for everyday treats or holiday cookie plates.
Why you’ll love these cookies
These cookies lean on brown sugar and butter for deep flavor and chewy tenderness, similar to other brown sugar and cinnamon cookie recipes designed to stay soft for days. Ground cinnamon (and optional nutmeg) infuses the dough with warmth, while rolling in granulated sugar before baking gives them a classic cinnamon‑sugar finish without extra steps like frosting.
The dough comes together quickly with basic pantry ingredients and doesn’t require chilling in many similar recipes, making them an easy, last‑minute bake. They are ideal for lunchboxes, afternoon coffee, or as a simple, comforting dessert when you want something homemade but unfussy.
