How to Make Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (optional, but recommended for easier handling).
- While the dough chills, prepare the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each ball to 1/4-inch thickness using the bottom of a glass or a cookie press.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Immediately remove cookies from baking sheets and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
