Viewed: 38 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Coating:
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until smooth (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough. If the dough is soft, cover and refrigerate until firm enough to roll into balls (one to two hours).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape the dough into 1 inch round balls.
- Coating: In a large shallow bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar and place on the prepared pan, spacing about 2 inches apart. Then, using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are light golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Can store in an airtight container, at room temperature, for about 10-14 days.
