Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your 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 light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls, then gently flatten them into discs about 1.5 inches in diameter.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon listed for sprinkling.
Lightly sprinkle the tops of the cookie discs with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly undercooked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
