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.

CRACKLY CINNAMON SUGAR COOKIES



Crackly Cinnamon Sugar Cookies image

These easy drop cookies are a cinch to make but have a taste that's truly next level. After the dough gets mixed with a generous amount of cinnamon and vanilla, it's portioned out onto baking sheets and topped with a double coating of fine sanding sugar to create a crisp, crackly top once baked.

Provided by Shira Bocar

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture. Beat until combined.
  • Scoop dough using a 1 1/2-inch scoop (about 1 1/2-tablespoons); transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula. Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar, then lightly brush with a wet pastry brush and sprinkle with more sanding sugar.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are just beginning to brown at edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter for a creamier, more consistent dough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking to prevent spreading.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch for a chewy cookie, or 1/8 inch for a crispier cookie.
  • Use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes, or simply use a knife to cut the dough into squares or triangles.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon sugar cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cinnamon sugar cookies turn out perfect every time. So, preheat your oven and get ready to enjoy a batch of these delicious cookies!
