Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.

Step 7

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, roll it into a ball, and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the coated dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have a crackled appearance. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your delicious cinnamon crackle cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
