Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Step 5
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix—stop as soon as the dough comes together.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 7
Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes, such as stars, circles, or hearts, and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake to keep the cookies tender.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once fully cooled, sift powdered sugar generously over the cookies for a festive and sweet finish.
Step 11
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
