Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Coating Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until creamy and smooth. Then add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the spices and salt throughout the flour.
  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough is well combined and thick enough to hold its shape.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into approximately 1-inch diameter balls and place them spaced out on the prepared baking sheet to allow for slight spreading during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the cookies remain soft. Remove and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  7. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the cookies are still warm, roll each one in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until fully coated. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use unsalted butter to control the salt level in the cookies.
  • The cookies will be soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
  • You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • If desired, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies retain a round shape.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the warm spice flavor.
