Cookie Dough
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cookies.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Add cinnamon sugar topping: Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each cookie dough mound.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops look set.
- Cool the cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or a streusel crumb topping.
- Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies freeze well; store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
