Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, chili powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cool and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
