Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 175 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 330 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long.
Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each log slightly using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 2-3 minutes. While still warm, slice the logs diagonally into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) pieces using a sharp knife.
Transfer the sliced cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
