Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gently fold in the flour, cinnamon, and salt until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let cool before cutting into squares.
