Cinnamon Coffee Crinkles Recipe
Introduction
Cinnamon Coffee Crinkles are a delightful treat that combines the warmth of cinnamon with a soft, crinkly texture. These cookies are perfect for enjoying alongside your morning coffee or as an afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Step 3: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Step 4: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a crinkly surface and edges are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- For extra depth, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
- Try rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking for a more pronounced crinkle effect.
- Substitute half the butter with cream cheese for a softer texture.

FAQs
Can I use cinnamon sugar instead of ground cinnamon?
It’s best to use ground cinnamon separately to control the spice level and texture. Cinnamon sugar may cause the dough to become too sweet or sticky.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes, you can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature and warm gently before serving.
