Description
Delicious cinnamon sugar cookies that are soft and fluffy, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold from fridge, sliced into cubes)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (add more if you want more sugar)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (add more if you want more cinnamon flavor)
Instructions
- Add the sugar mixture together, mix and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a mixer, in a mixing bowl add the chopped cold butter, both sugars, and mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients (flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt) to the wet ingredients and mix together until dough comes together.
- Roll approximately 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball (or use a medium ice cream scooper, I used 1 tablespoon and heaped them with dough) and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat the cookies.
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and then place cinnamon-sugared cookie balls on baking sheets. Cookies will spread some, so space cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Cookies may appear undone but will continue to bake on the warm baking sheet.
- Leave cookies to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Cookies can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
- For a sweeter flavor, increase the sugar and cinnamon amounts as desired.
