Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, chili powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the cookies once cool and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
