Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) Walnuts or pecans recommended.
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar For glaze.

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and ensure the butter is at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mixing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts if using.
Baking
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet with enough space in between for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft.
Glazing
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until you reach a desired consistency for drizzling. Once cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
