Delicious Cinnamon Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup cinnamon sugar mixture (for rolling)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

    Use a hand mixer for best results.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  5. Form the Cookies

    Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    Make sure to coat evenly for a delightful flavor.
  6. Bake

    Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy these cookies warm or store them in an airtight container.
