Instructions

Whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until combined; add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until no flour streaks remain; the dough will be soft.
Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or up to 3 days.
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line baking sheets.
Roll dough into balls and coat in granulated sugar; space on baking sheets.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft; cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for preventing spread and enhancing flavor.
For a gluten-free option, substitute with a preferred gluten-free flour blend.
If dough gets too soft, return it to the fridge for a few moments.
