Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 25 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Roll the dough into a log shape approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Once chilled, slice the dough into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled Cinnamon Thins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
