Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the coating.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until fully covered.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the tops with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
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 your quick snickerdoodles warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
