Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 175 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 330 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 6
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long.
Step 7
Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each log slightly using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 2-3 minutes. While still warm, slice the logs diagonally into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) pieces using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Transfer the sliced cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
