Cooking time 10minutes
Soft, chewy, and deliciously spiced, these cinnamon cookies are dangerous.
Trust me, after one bite, you'll want to devour the whole batch!
Ingredients
1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup each brown and white)
1⁄2 cup butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1⁄2 cups flour
1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
cinnamon sugar
Instructions
Combine the butter and sugar in a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla, then mix on medium until blended. Turn the mixer off.
Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Then add it to the mixer.
Start on low, mixing the flour into the butter, until a dough forms.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for approximately 2 hours.
The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape when molded.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Portion the cookie dough into 3/4-inch balls. Then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar, coating well.
Place the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, leaving one inch between each cookie.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn brown.
Remove the tray from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool slightly.
Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool them completely.

Cinnamon Cookies

Delicious Cinnamon Cookies are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside with the most incredible cinnamon-sugar flavor. A cross between a sugar cookie and a snickerdoodle, these cookies are perfect for any occasion! Make this easy recipe for the holidays, an after school treat or any time you're craving something sweet!
Ingredients
For rolling cookies
3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For cookies
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup white granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional for sprinkling on baked cookies: coarse sea salt
Instructions
Combine the 3 tablespoons white sugar and the 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Add sugars and softened butter to a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together on medium speed until combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just combined. With the last egg, add in vanilla extract and mix until light and fluffy.
Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to sugar mixture, mixing at low speed just long enough to combine. Do NOT over-mix or you could end up with tough cookies. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 to 4 days.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Roll 1.5 tablespoons (per cookie) dough into balls, then roll each ball into cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets and bake for 12 to 13 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring to a wire rack. The longer the cookies cool, the chewier they will be.
Notes
Storage. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to one week.
Freezing Instructions. Cookie dough will freeze well for up to 3 months.
Baked cookies will also freeze well for up to 3 months, thaw to room temperature before serving.

The Best Cinnamon Cookies Recipe
By Chavez Adams
Prep Time :15 minutes
Cook Time :10 minutes
Chill Dough :30 minutes
Total Time :55 minutes
Serves: 21
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Mixture
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter softened
1 tsp flour
1/2 tbsp molasses
Instructions
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Mixture. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar,
cinnamon, butter, and molasses. Add the flour and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the granulated sugar, softened butter, cinnamon, and vanilla, and beat for about 2 minutes until creamed.
Add eggs and egg yolk and beat until well combined.
Add your sifted flour mixture into your wet batter and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Be sure not to over mix.
Gently add and fold in your cinnamon swirl mixture to the cookie batter, but be sure not to over mix to ensure you have a distinct swirl.
Transfer the cookie dough to a fridge and let chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate (Pro tip: Allowing your dough to refrigerate for 2 hours will result in the best flavored cookie; however, 30 minutes works just fine.)
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove your chilled dough from the refrigerator. Use a 2 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop the dough into the parchment lined baking sheet. The dough should be about 2 -3 inches apart.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and the center is soft. Let the cookies rest for about 15 minutes or until set. It may be hard to resist the urge to sneak a taste, but it'll be worth it!
Notes
Even if you mix the cinnamon swirl too much into your dough, the cookies will still be delicious!
