Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for rolling)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Step 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for rolling.
Step 7
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Step 8
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set and crackled. Do not overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy these fantastic crackle-top sugar cinnamon cookies with a warm drink or share them with loved ones!
