Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, crushed graham crackers, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until everything is combined, then set aside.
- In a large bowl with a handheld mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again until everything is combined.
- Turn the mixer speed to medium, then slowly add the flour and blend until no flour pockets remain. Cover the cookie dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop (I use this #50 cookie scoop for all of my standard size cookies), drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to roll them into a smooth ball. The dough will be soft but should not be sticky.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes just until edges are just set. The centers will look underdone. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store leftovers covered tightly at room temperature up to 5 days. Cookies freeze well, up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
