Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for rolling.
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set and crackled. Do not overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these fantastic crackle-top sugar cinnamon cookies with a warm drink or share them with loved ones!
