Cinnamon Cookies
These cinnamon cookies are a delightful blend of warmth and sweetness, perfect for any occasion. The golden edges offer a slight crunch, while the centers remain tender and melt-in-your-mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk room temperature preferred
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon table salt
Ripple
- ½ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter very soft/barely melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until well combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined. Prepare the cinnamon ripple.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, prepare your ripple by whisking together sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Add butter and toss together until mixture resembles a paste.
- Gently fold the paste/ripple into cookie dough using a spatula, careful not to mix too much so you still have a distinct ripple (I dollop several spoonfuls of the paste over the cookie dough and then fold briefly and gently with my spatula).
- Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop and (optional) roll gently between your palms to create a smooth ball.
- Place cookie balls on prepared cookie sheet, spacing at least 2” apart and transfer to center rack of preheated 350F (175C) oven to bake for 10-11 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
