Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but cool
  • 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth baking process.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and evenly blended. Set aside.
  3. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened but cool unsalted butter and 1⅓ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the 1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and 1 large egg yolk. Beat until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2¾ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined and a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble Cookies: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into about ½-inch thick rounds.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliced cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter for the dough is softened but still cool to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and chewy.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
