Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Coat in cinnamon sugar: Roll each ball in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Arrange on baking sheets: Place the coated balls on a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and centers are soft.
- Cool: Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. Experiment with gluten-free flour blends as well.
