Description
Delicious cinnamon cookies that are slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2–3/4 cups flour (see note 1)
- 1–1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.
- Combine melted butter with sugars, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Form dough into balls and roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Place on baking trays and bake for 9–12 minutes. Avoid overbaking; slight under-baking is ideal!
