Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your cookie dough is prepared.
- Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Mix Topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Apply Topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each cookie dough ball.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts to the topping.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the dough.
