These delicious cookies are bursting with cinnamon and sugar, yet so easy to make. The dough can be frozen and then thawed for about 15 minutes before baking.
Makes about 1 Dozen
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
For the Coating:
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients (the Flour, Cream of Tartar, Baking Soda, and Salt). In a large bowl, cream the Butter and Sugar with a whisk or an electric mixer. Beat in the Egg and Vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients. DO NOT OVER MIX. In a small bowl mix the coating ingredients. Using a small ice cream or cookie scoop (or 2 tablespoons), scoop the cookie dough into the mixture and coat. Place the balls on an un-greased cookie sheet and flatten gently. Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until slightly golden brown on the edges. Leave the cookies on the sheet for 1 minute and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
