Effortless Cinnamon Cookies (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cookie Dough
01 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
110 g packed brown sugar
04 -
200 g granulated sugar
05 -
227 g unsalted butter, let it soften
06 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
07 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
08 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
09 -
315 g all-purpose flour
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
10 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11 -
50 g granulated sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Let the cookies chill out on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move them over to a wire rack so they can cool off all the way.
02 -
Pop those dough balls on the lined baking sheets, space them out about 5 centimeters. Bake them 10–12 minutes till the edges are golden but middles are still a bit soft.
03 -
Scoop out dough and roll it into balls (about 3.5 cm). Tumble each ball in the cinnamon sugar mix so they're well covered.
04 -
Stir granulated sugar together with cinnamon in a small bowl. This will be for rolling your dough.
05 -
Slowly add your dry stuff into the bowl with the butter mix, blending only until you don't see any more dry bits. Don't get carried away with mixing.
06 -
Drop in eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Pour in the vanilla and stir until it all comes together.
07 -
Beat the soft butter with both sugars in a big bowl using an electric mixer. You want it to look fluffy and light.
08 -
In another bowl, toss together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Give it a whisk so it’s all mixed up.
09 -
Crank the oven up to 175°C. Cover baking trays with parchment paper so nothing sticks.
# Notes:
01 -
Pull them from the oven while the centers still look underdone—the cookies will keep setting up as they sit.
02 -
A cookie scoop makes it easy to get dough balls the same size, and that way they bake nice and even.
