Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and 1.25 cups of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the 0.25 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for coating.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
Step 8
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until evenly coated.
Step 9
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread during baking.
Step 10
Lightly press down on each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to slightly flatten them.
Step 11
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and barely golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked — this is fine as they will continue to set while cooling.
Step 12
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Serve and enjoy your homemade cinnamon sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
