Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
Description
The recipe begins by beating softened butter and sugar until fluffy, then incorporating eggs for smoothness. Dry ingredients including flour, cream of tartar for a tender crumb, cinnamon for spice, and salt are mixed in last to form the dough. Chilling the dough for one to two hours firms it, making it easier to handle and helping maintain shape during baking.
Once chilled, small dough balls are rolled in cinnamon sugar for a crunchy, sweet coating before being spaced on lined baking sheets. Baking at 375°F for about 10 minutes yields cookies that are soft inside with a lightly crisped exterior. A final sprinkle of cinnamon sugar when hot enhances the flavor and texture.
After cooling on the pan and then a wire rack, the cookies are ready to enjoy as a snack or dessert with subtle warm spice and buttery richness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1½ cups sugar plus ⅓ cup for cinnamon-sugar
- 2 egg
- 2¾ cups flour
- 1½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon plus 2 teaspoons for cinnamon sugar
- ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together until the mixture is soft and fluffy. Add eggs and beat again until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Chill dough for 1 to 2 hours.
- While the dough is chilling, make the cinnamon-sugar mixture and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Make 1.5-inch cookie dough balls. Roll the balls in cinnamon sugar and place 3 inches apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while still hot, if desired. Lightly press down the top of each cookie with a spoon.
- Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
