Equipment

  • To make these tasty cookies, you'll need a few basic tools:
  • Mixing bowls: Two will do—one large and one medium.
  • Electric mixer: Makes stirring easier, but you can mix by hand too.
  • Rolling pin: Helps to shape the dough.
  • Baking sheet: A flat sheet for baking cookies.
  • Parchment paper: Keeps cookies from sticking.
  • Knife or pizza cutter: To slice rolled dough into cookies.
  • Having these on hand will make the process smoother and ensure all parts of the recipe come together perfectly!

Ingredients
  

Here's what you'll need for these delicious treats:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

These simple ingredients, when combined, create a delightful cinnamon cookie that everyone will love.

Instructions
 

Let’s bake these delightful cookies! Here's how I do it:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cream butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Combine: Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle.
  • Filling: Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough.
  • Roll up and slice: Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into 1/2-inch pieces.

Bake: Place slices on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Notes

    Chilling the Dough: If the dough is too soft to roll, I pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. It helps keep its shape.
    Storing: Store cookies in an airtight container. They stay fresh for about a week.
    Serving Suggestion: Pair with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. It enhances the cinnamon flavor!
    Enjoy the rewarding experience of making these cookies from scratch. Happy baking! 🍪
