- Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter, use ice scooper if you prefer) and then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container for later.
