Equipment

- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 10 ounces cinnamon chips (about 1 2/3 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure that your cookies bake evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the large egg, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cinnamon chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer, separated with parchment paper, for up to three months.
- To ensure even baking, use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes.
