Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out small dough balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a spoon or your palm.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender in the center.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy these buttery, cinnamon-infused treats!
