Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy these nut-free cinnamon cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
