Dry Ingredients:
- 1 & ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- ½ tsp Vanilla Essence
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Making the Dry Mix
First, you have to make the dry mix by adding all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to a bowl. Make sure you sift all the dry ingredients before giving them a good mix.
Making the Wet Mix
Now, you have to take another bowl for the wet ingredients. Add your unsalted butter and granulated sugar, and use an electric hand beater to beat the ingredients until they come out light and fluffy.
Add a large egg to the mix and beat again on medium speed until everything is mixed well.
This is when you add your vanilla essence and beat again until the entire mixture is well combined.
Mixing Wet and Dry Ingredients
Now, you have to take the wet mixture you just made and add it to the dry flour mixture you made earlier.
Use the electric hand beater to beat and mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Make sure you do it on low speed until everything is well combined.
Then, have a spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl, and fold the dough until everything is combined. Your cookie dough is ready!
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
Prepare to Bake
Preheat your oven to 370°F or 190°C before you start balling the cookie dough.
Now, take an oven-proof tray and add a baking sheet on top where you will place your cookies.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and ball it in your hands. Take the cookie dough ball and roll it in the cinnamon sugar. Make sure the entire cookie dough ball is well coated with the cinnamon sugar.
Place the cookies in the tray with the baking sheet on. Just make sure all the cookie dough balls are placed 3 inches apart from each other.
Now, place the tray in the oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Take the cookies out of the oven when they are done and let them cool down to room temperature.
Now, serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy.
-
Cookies Spread Too Much: Using room temperature butter could solve this issue. But you should also measure the dry ingredients to get the right ratio and avoid this problem.
-
Cookies Too Dry: If you overbake your cookies, they might turn out to be too dry. Always make sure to undercook the cookies slightly.
-
Cinnamon Sugar Melted: Don’t add melted butter to the cookie dough to coat the cinnamon sugar.
