🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups dark brown sugar (packed)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.

7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.

8. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have developed their characteristic crinkle appearance. The centers may still look slightly underbaked.

10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Serve and enjoy your soft, cinnamon-spiced crinkles! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
