These cinnamon-infused cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family during cozy afternoons. With a buttery texture and a sweet, spicy swirl, they’re sure to become a favorite treat in your cookie collection.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, using your hands to bring everything together into a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into four equal parts, shape each into a round about an inch thick, and wrap them up in plastic. Pop them in the fridge for at least an hour to chill.
When you’re ready to bake, heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one piece of dough at a time until it’s about a quarter-inch thick. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then place them on the prepared sheets.
Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they’re just starting to turn golden around the edges. Let them cool on wire racks before decorating however you like.
- Chill the dough before rolling to prevent it from sticking and to keep the shapes sharp.
- Use a sharp cookie cutter for clean edges and easy removal.
- Bake cookies on the middle rack for even heat distribution and consistent baking.
These cookies offer a perfect balance of sweet cinnamon and buttery dough. Their soft texture and beautiful swirl make them a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. They are fun to make and great for sharing with family and friends.
Enjoy these cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee for a cozy snack. They also pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet afternoon treat.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and fresh. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a sealed bag and thaw at room temperature before serving. Avoid storing them in the fridge, as this can dry them out.
