- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- 1. Brown the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until golden brown and nutty-smelling. Let cool slightly.

- 3. Mix in eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until smooth.
- 4. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
- 5. Chill the dough: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
