Description
Delicious cinnamon sugar cookies that are soft and chewy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Line at least two cookie sheets with parchment paper, or use a silicone mat.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Set it aside.
- In a small, shallow bowl, combine the smaller amount of sugar with the cinnamon, and set aside.
- Cream butter with sugar for about 2-3 minutes at medium speed using a stand mixer. You want to mix until the butter is fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- Add eggs one at a time into the mixer. Beat until well incorporated.
- A little bit at a time, add the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Use a cookie scoop to create 1 tablespoon sized dough balls. Roll the dough with your fingers gently to smooth it out, then roll the balls through the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place the cookies on the prepared sheet pan, making sure to space them 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, rotating at 5 minutes.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for best results.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
