How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake Cookies

  1. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) milk.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls (approximately 1 dozen cookies).
  9. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  10. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet, gently flattening each ball slightly.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
