Ingredients

• 230 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)

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 unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Using the bottom of a glass or your hand, lightly flatten each dough ball to about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 10

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden (the centers may still look slightly underbaked).

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your warm, cinnamon-sugar-coated butter cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
