Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the coating.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until fully covered.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the tops with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve your quick snickerdoodles warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
