Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Continue until all the dry ingredients are just combined into a smooth dough.
In a small bowl, mix the garnish ground cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll each one into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar garnish and place them on the prepared baking sheets, approximately 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass for even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear 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 and enjoy the rich, cinnamon-packed flavor of these cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
