Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g unsalted butter, softened
150g caster sugar
50g light brown soft sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
300g plain flour
1½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Beat the butter and both sugars in a large bowl using an electric whisk for 2 mins until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until combined, scraping down the sides once. Add the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt, and mix until just combined. Stir in the milk to loosen the mixture.
  • For the topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll 40g of the dough into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place it on the prepared tray and press it down lightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and topping, spacing the balls about 5cm apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool on the tray for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight tin for up to four days.

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
