Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups flour all purpose
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk or more to preferred consistency
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon plus 1 teaspoon for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Then mix in the egg until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture and stir until combined. Continue adding flour by the 1/2 cup and mixing until all 2 cups are completely combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough, then roll them into balls and slightly flatten with your palm and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 375˚F for 8-9 minutes or until the center is just set. The cookies will remain light in color and will not get brown. Let the cookies sit for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Make the icing by whisking the powdered sugar with the cinnamon, salt and cream until smooth.
- Once the cookies are cool, dip the tops in the glaze by turning time upside down and gently lift them out, turn them over and return them to the cooking rack or a sheet of parchment to dry.
