Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped cinnamon baking chips or cinnamon chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the pure vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cinnamon baking chips or cinnamon chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake for soft, chewy cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
