  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  5. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  8. Place cookie balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best results.
  • Consider adding nutmeg or ginger for extra spice.
  • Do not overbake to ensure a soft center.
  • Allow adequate cooling time for cookies to firm up.
  • For a fun twist, use cookie cutters for festive shapes.
  • For chewy cookies, chill the dough for at least an hour before baking.
  • If dough is too dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Can add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.
  • Cookies are done when edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
