Ingredients list for the Cinnamon Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
2. Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla, continue to mix until combined, about 2 minutes.
4. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Mix until the dough comes together.
5. Add in the 2 tablespoons of milk. If your dough is still crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it comes together. Cover or wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Remove the dough from fridge and roll into big 1 1/2 inch balls – you can use a cookie scoop to make regular balls. Roll into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly press down on dough to flatten it.
7. Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a cookie rack. Enjoy!
