I guess they were good. I couldn't taste the cinnamon or browned butter really. Aging helped the most, I think. They didn't spread enough and were kind of crumbly. Should I add an extra egg next time? We raise chickens so we don't get market-sized eggs. I should start weighing them from now on to make sure i have the right amount.

Do you add extra yolk or whites for moisture? doesn't too much yolk make them too dense? I want fluffy and moist.
It could have also lost too much moisture because I over-browned the butter. Lost probably 30g worth, and added that in extra butter during mixing. There wasn't an overly-nutty flavour, could hardly tell I added burnt butter (that I re-chilled before mixing with the sugar).
I also used very little white sugar. I'd say 70/20/10, dark/light/white. I will try making it 50/30/20 next time I think.

Family loved them, though. I will continue working on the perfect cookie.
