CINNAMON AND SUGAR COOKIES



Cinnamon and Sugar Cookies image

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 23 to 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Make the cookie dough: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until lightly and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Next, with the machine running on low speed, add the eggs one at a time until incorporated, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Then add the vanilla and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk together. With the machine running on low speed, add the flour mixture and mix just until you no longer see any bits of flour.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir together and set aside.
  • Form and bake the cookies: Using a 2-inch ice cream or portion scoop, scoop the dough into 6 mounds, scraping each against the bowl as you scoop. Roll each mound in your hands to form a ball. The dough will be very soft, so handle carefully and work quickly. Drop each ball into the cinnamon sugar and roll around to completely coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies have puffed up and the tops begin to crackle, 11 to 13 minutes. The bottoms will get darker than the tops. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat forming the remaining dough into balls and bake 6 cookies at a time.
  • Serve the cookies or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

MEXICAN CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIES



MEXICAN CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Bake

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

COOKIE DOUGH
1¾ cup flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon* (or replace with crushed anise seed to taste)
½ cup vegetable shortening or lard
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 to 2 tablespoons brandy or milk
CINNAMON SUGAR MIXTURE
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon*
*CINNAMON NOTE: This is the mild Mexican cinnamon, canela. It you use a strong flavored variety, ie, Vietnamese, decrease the amount, or the flavor could be overwhelming.

Steps:

  • Sift or stir together in a bowl the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon (or anise seed to taste), and set aside. In a medium bowl beat the vegetable shortening or lard with a mixer until light. Slowly beat in the ¾ cup sugar until light. Beat in the egg and 1 tablespoon brandy or milk, mixing until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. If it becomes too stiff to mix, stir in 1 tablespoon more brandy or milk until dough holds together and is semi-firm and can be shaped into logs. If it is too stiff, the logs will not hold together. If too soft, the logs will not hold their shape. In a small bowl stir together the cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside. On a lightly floured surface or pastry board knead the dough briefly until it holds together without cracking or breaking apart. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Return 1 part to the bowl. On the lightly floured surface shape the other piece of dough into a log, and with the palms of the hands roll it back and forth until it is about 12-inches long. With a sharp knife cut the log into fourths, then cut each fourth into 5 slices. Roll each slice in cinnamon sugar mixture and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place slices about 1½-inch to 2-inches apart. Place cookie sheet in a preheated 350° oven, and bake until done, about 9 to 10 minutes. Cookies should not be over baked or browned. Remove from oven, and while cookies are still warm, roll each cookie again in the cinnamon sugar and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat the above process for the other piece of dough. You can probably do this while the first cookie sheet is baking. After all cookies have cooled, store them in a covered container or in a zip-lock bag.

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.

PIGGIES (SUGAR AND CINNAMON PIE DOUGH COOKIES)



Piggies (Sugar and Cinnamon Pie Dough Cookies) image

Crumbly sugar and cinnamon cookies that you can make as fast as they disappear. My father told me about these cookies that his mother used to make. When she made a pie, she would take the excess dough and make these simple cookies. You don't have to make a pie first, all you need is pie dough. My father loves when I make them for him, and I think you will be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't. My father said she called them Piggies. That's what I call them.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening
2 tablespoons warm water, or as needed
1 tablespoon shortening
¼ cup white sugar
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl, and use a pastry cutter to cut in 1/3 cup of shortening until the mixture forms pea-size balls. With a fork, form a small well in the center of the mixture, and pour in water, a couple of teaspoons at a time, and stir with the fork to mix in the water and form a dough. Incorporate each addition of water before adding the next, until about 3/4 of the flour mixture has formed a stiff dough. Work a little more water in with your hands, and shape the dough into a ball.
  • Working on a well-floured work surface with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 by 16 inches, and about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 1 tablespoon of shortening over the surface of the dough with a soft spatula, and sprinkle sugar all over the dough square. Sprinkle the dough with cinnamon. Pick up a long edge of dough, and tightly roll the dough into a log shape. With a sharp knife, slice the log into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are lightly browned and sizzling on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Cool on paper towels; freeze extras for later.

Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for successful cookies. Use a kitchen scale to measure solid ingredients like flour and sugar, and liquid measuring cups for wet ingredients like milk and eggs.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Opt for high-quality butter, flour, and sugar, and use fresh eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This step is essential for creating a smooth, even cookie dough. Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Slowly beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing until just combined. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for cinnamon sugar cookies is 375°F (190°C). Baking the cookies at a lower temperature will result in soft, chewy cookies, while baking them at a higher temperature will result in crispy cookies.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Cinnamon sugar cookies are done baking when the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
