Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for cinnamon sugar coating
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add Egg and Vanilla:
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 30 minutes.
- Roll and Cut the Cookies:
- On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Gently dip the top of each cookie into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
