Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or mixing on a low speed, just until the dough comes together.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread evenly as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cinnamon cookies once they have cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
