# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pop your butter on the counter for about 45 minutes to an hour. It should feel cool but soft enough to work with.
02 -
Grab a bowl and sift together the cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and flour. Leave it on the side for now.
03 -
With a mixer, whip up the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for around 2 minutes till it’s smooth. Scrape the bowl down halfway.
04 -
Toss in the eggs and vanilla. Beat again for another minute or so until things look fluffy.
05 -
Add the bowl of dry stuff into the butter mix. Blend slowly until you don’t see streaks of flour.
06 -
Cover the bowl, let it chill in the fridge for half an hour. If it's still super soft, shove it in the freezer for 15 more minutes.
07 -
Lay out two baking sheets with parchment. Scoop out dough (about 3 ounces each). Flatten, drop in plenty of chocolate, close it back up to make a ball.
08 -
In a shallow bowl, stir up the sugar and cinnamon together.
09 -
Coat each dough ball in your cinnamon sugar blend. Chill in the fridge for another half hour.
10 -
Get your oven up to 350°F (177°C). Space 6 balls out per sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes till the edges get a light golden tint. The centers should look a bit underdone.
11 -
Leave cookies on the tray for 5 minutes so they set. While they’re still warm, give them another roll in leftover cinnamon sugar. Finish cooling on a rack.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Make sure you scoop flour into your cup then level it so your cookies stay soft.
02 -
For those high up in the mountains, toss in 2 extra tablespoons of flour.
