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:

  • Soften the butter properly: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from being too dense.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Do not overbake them or they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting them.
  • Be creative with your toppings: In addition to the classic cinnamon-sugar topping, you can also try other toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate.

Conclusion:

These simple cinnamon sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these cinnamon sugar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
