Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 100 grams Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or your hand, lightly flatten each dough ball to about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden (the centers may still look slightly underbaked).
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your warm, cinnamon-sugar-coated butter cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
