Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and 1.25 cups of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the 0.25 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for coating.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until evenly coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread during baking.
Lightly press down on each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to slightly flatten them.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and barely golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked — this is fine as they will continue to set while cooling.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade cinnamon sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
