The Perfect Soft Chewy Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

🍚 1 and ¼ cups Granulated sugar
🥚 1 Large egg, room temperature
🧈 2 sticks Land O Lakes Salted Butter, room temperature
🥄 1 teaspoon Baking powder
🥄 ½ teaspoon Baking soda
🧂 ½ teaspoon Salt
🍦 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
🌾 2 and ½ cups All-purpose flour
🍚 ¼ cup Granulated sugar
🌿 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions

1- Preheat and Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

2- Cream Butter and Sugar:

• In the bowl of a KitchenAid stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the 2 sticks of Land O Lakes Salted Butter and 1 and ¼ cups of granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, around 3-5 minutes.

3- Combine Wet Ingredients:

• Add the room temperature egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
• Mix until just combined.

4- Mix Dry Ingredients:

• Add ½ teaspoon each of baking soda and salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 and ½ cups of all-purpose flour to the mixer.
• Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

5- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

• In a small wooden bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon with a mini whisk.

6- Form Cookie Dough Balls:

• Using a standard metal cookie scoop, portion out 1½-inch balls of cookie dough.
• Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.

7- Arrange and Bake:

• Place the coated dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden. For a softer center, aim for 10 minutes.

8- Cool and Serve:

• Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
• Transfer them to a wire cooling rack using a metal slotted spatula to cool completely. Enjoy them as they are, a soft and chewy delight!
