Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
Repeat this process with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
