Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup extra granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon extra ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix well until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the 0.25 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for coating.
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers will still appear soft and puffy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on it for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious cinnamon sugar cookies!
