Description
Deliciously soft and flavorful cinnamon sugar cookies, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (increase for more spice)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for rolling)
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar Mix (optional for coating)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
-
Form Cookies: Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place on lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
-
Bake: Let cookies bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. They may look soft but will firm up as they cool.
-
Coat: While still warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar and cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: Roll cooled cookies in a cinnamon-sugar mixture if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, consider increasing the amount of ground cinnamon.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
- You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version of these cookies.
