Holiday Classic: Cinnamon Sugar Cookies 🍪✨

The holidays are here, so let’s bake something sweet and simple: Cinnamon Sugar Cookies.

You’ll need:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

First, cream your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add your egg and vanilla, then mix again.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix the dry into the wet until a soft dough forms.

Scoop into small balls, roll in cinnamon sugar, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

What comes out? Golden, soft-on-the-inside cookies with that perfect holiday crunch.

Trust me, these won’t last long once they’re out of the oven!

Save this recipe for your holiday baking! 🎅🏾🍪✨

... Read moreBaking homemade cookies during the holiday season is a cherished tradition for many families, and cinnamon sugar cookies are a classic choice for a cozy treat. These cookies are quick to prepare and don't require any fancy ingredients, making them perfect for bakers of all skill levels. The key to their delightful texture lies in creaming the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, which helps create that soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior contrasted by the cinnamon sugar crust. One of the best parts about these cookies is how versatile the cinnamon sugar coating is. You can easily customize the ratio of cinnamon to sugar according to your taste for a more or less spicy finish. Additionally, for a festive twist, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dough to deepen the holiday flavors. For presentation, rolling the cookies in coarse sugar after baking adds an extra sparkle that makes them look beautiful on any holiday cookie platter. If you’re looking to make these cookies last longer or gift them, storing them in an airtight container at room temperature preserves their freshness for several days. Some bakers even freeze the dough balls before baking, allowing for fresh cookies on demand throughout the holiday season. Beyond flavor, cinnamon adds a comforting aroma that fills the kitchen with that quintessential holiday scent, truly enhancing the festive atmosphere. Plus, these cookies can be enjoyed with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite holiday beverage, making them an irresistible addition to any holiday gathering. With a baking time of just 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C), these cinnamon sugar cookies are an ideal last-minute baking solution that doesn’t sacrifice taste or quality. From novice bakers to seasoned pros, this recipe is a holiday favorite that promises delicious results every time.
