Instructions

Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, combine butter and sugars, mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined (do not over-mix!).
Mix in the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to make 1.5-2 tbsp sized balls and place them on the baking sheet around 3-4 inches apart.
Bake the cookies (one sheet at a time for even baking) for 8-11 minutes. Remove them from the oven when the edges look set. They will look under-baked in the middle!
Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely while you make the cinnamon glaze

Cinnamon Glaze

In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk until the glaze comes together.
Once the chocolate chip cinnamon cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze in a zig zag pattern over the cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

Measuring Flour: Properly measure your flour using either a kitchen scale or by fluffing it up in the bag with a fork, then using a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use the back of a butterknife to level it off (the is the scoop and level method)

Storage and Freezing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag at room temperature for 5-6 days.

The baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature when you're ready to eat them.
