CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIES



Cinnamon Sugar Cookies image

Stash the dough for these cookie-cutter favorites in the freezer, then bake them off and sparkle them up for everyone on your gift list.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Decorating sugar and candies, such as nonpareils and red cinnamon dots (optional)
Confectioners sugar, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Divide dough in half; form into two 3/4-inch-thick disks. Wrap each in plastic; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out and freeze: Place one disk between two sheets of floured parchment paper; roll out to an 1/8-inch thickness, lightly dusting dough with flour as needed. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters; if dough gets soft, chill 10 minutes. (To bake right away, follow directions in step 3.) Using a metal spatula with a thin blade, transfer cut-out shapes to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps; cut more shapes. Repeat with remaining disk. Place baking sheet in freezer; once frozen, transfer shapes to a resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to 1 month.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 325. Line baking sheets with parchment; bake, decorating if desired (see note, below), until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through-this time range applies whether dough is frozen or not. Cool cookies 1 minute on sheets, and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Chill your dough before baking: This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking cinnamon sugar cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake your cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let your cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help prevent them from becoming soft and sticky.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugar cookies are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious cookies that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet and festive treat, give cinnamon sugar cookies a try!
