Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 220 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 360 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for dough consistency)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. If the dough feels too thick, add the optional milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls (about 75 grams each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
While the cookies bake, mix the powdered sugar and additional ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the topping.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the cookies are warm (not hot), sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the tops of the cookies.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
