How to Make Barbecue Spice Cookies
- Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Let the melted butter cool slightly to room temperature.
- Add 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs to the cooled butter. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
