Ingredients
- 230 g Butter soften
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs large
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 ½ cups Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Cinnamon sugar (for rolling)
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar

Instructions
- Into a big mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, kosher salt, vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until the mixture is creamy and light.
- Add the eggs, cinnamon, and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f). In a small mixing bowl, add the cinnamon and sugar and mix until combined.
- Use a cookies scooper to scoop out the cookies, roll each cookie into a ball, and roll each cookie dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure that the cookie dough is covered with cinnamon sugar.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 11-12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist cookies and not dense and dry cookies.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat! This step helps the cookies to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your cookies release easily from the pan.
- Use a cookies scoop to scoop out the cookies, that way you will have even-sized cookies, plus it ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
- Sift your flour! sifting your flour is a very important step when baking and making cookies. Use a fine-mesh sifter to sift out the flour. e also recommend sifting your cocoa powder. Cocoa powder tends to have big lumps, so we always sift the cocoa powder to make sure that there won’t be any cocoa lumps in the mixture.
- Make sure that you are using fresh ingredients! One of the most common mistakes in baking and making cookies is not noticing that your baking powder or baking soda is expired. This can ruin your cookies and waste your time and money on the ingredients. So every time you bake anything, make sure that the ingredients are not expired.
- Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
- Chill the dough! This step is crucial and prevents the cookies to spread out too much. After making the cookie dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these cookies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these cookies cool for at least 15 minutes so they will be more firm and won’t crumble up.
- We suggest letting these cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transferring them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 more minutes. This step ensures that the bottom of your cookies will not be soggy from the steam.
