CINNAMON COOKIES

These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. They make up easily, and they disappear fast. I make these every year when we put up our Christmas Tree. I serve them with hot Cocoa while we decorate our tree. I swear the cookies are anticipated as much as the tree!

Provided by Cate Dixon

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 8

120g softened salted butter
50g light brown muscovado sugar
150g golden caster sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten
220g plain flour
50g raisins (optional)
1 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
  • Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

Yield Makes 12-18 twists

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
14-17 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt on a large plate. Fill a small bowl or glass with cold water.
  • Roll out pastry between 2 sheets of parchment until short side is 10" long and dough is about 1/8" thick. Freeze dough 5 minutes. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough crosswise into 1" strips. Transfer half of strips to refrigerator. Working one at a time, brush strip lightly with water (or use your fingertips), then immediately transfer to sugar mixture and turn to coat.
  • Starting from the middle, use both hands to twist dough to the ends. Transfer to prepared sheet, arranging twists vertically. Repeat with remaining dough. Freeze 10 minutes.
  • Bake twists, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and beginning to caramelize, 18-20 minutes. Using tongs, immediately lift twists from parchment and let cool with 1 end on rim of baking sheet (work carefully, sugar coating will be very hot).

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help create a flaky cookie. If your butter is too warm, it will spread out too much and the cookies will be less flaky.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven: This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Watch the cookies closely while they are baking: They can go from done to overdone very quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving: This will help them set and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Flaky cinnamon cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following these tips, you can make perfect flaky cinnamon cookies every time. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from a simple snack to a special holiday treat. The delicate cinnamon flavor and flaky texture will make these cookies a favorite of everyone who tries them.
