The Kid’s Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
The Kid wanted to make cookies, but since I am sick I told him he’d have to do all the work. He insisted that he had to make ‘cinnamon cookies’ though. Er…I figured a sugar cookie pumped up on cinnamon was my best bet. True to his word, he did all the work – I just had to put them in the oven. He is only 5 after all.
ingredients:
2-1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
for topping:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. (If you think that much cinnamon is gonna kill you, go ahead and hold it back to 1-1/2 tablespoons.)
In a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars until mixed. Add the egg and the vanilla.
Slowly add the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Until the batter is well blended.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a prepped cookie sheet. A small ice cream scoop works well for this. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the rounded balls of dough.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. They taste FANTASTIC right out of the oven. They are soft, with a crunch. Perfect for snacking.
I applaud the efforts and successes of your budding Chef. Good work, mom!
Oh — and I think his t-shirt rocks!
You know me. I always lag on leaving comments but I couldn’t pass this one by without saying: that is one very cool squirrel plate. I wish it was mine.
im gonnna make them …i just made the batter and st
uff and put it in the fridge because i have too go to sleep soon but ummm the batter smeelled good soo ill get back on you …..
I made these last night and brought them in to work today and everyone LOVED them! This is the most delicious cinnamon & sugar cookie recipe I’ve had to date. The batter is absolutely delicious as well…now if I could only find a way to recreate that taste without the risk that raw egg poses… And while I was afraid of using 2 TBS cinnamon (yes I do love cinnamon but I’m a chicken with it!), I went with the recipe’s measurements and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was the perfect amount of cinnamon. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I tried out this recipe the other day! Deeelicious!
I put my adventure on my blog:
