Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them 2½ inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
  6. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Press a thumb or spoon gently into the center of each cookie, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar into the indentation.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set while the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
