Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to combine the leavening agent with the spices and flour uniformly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture in the cookies.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until smooth and fully incorporated for flavor and moisture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring or mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon designated for the filling.
  7. Form Dough and Add Filling: Spread half of the cookie dough onto a sheet of parchment paper, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling evenly atop, and then carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape, similar to rolling a cinnamon roll.
  8. Slice Into Rounds: Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled dough into rounds approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick, ensuring even cookie size for uniform baking.
  9. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cookie rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
  10. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  11. Cool and Serve: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste and added fiber.
  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted to allow proper creaming with the sugars.
  • Slicing the rolled dough with a very sharp knife or dental floss helps maintain clean edges.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk after cooling.
