Cuisine German
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 ¾ cup flour, plain
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cream of tartar
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a stand mixer, blend butter and sugar until creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Then add eggs and vanilla and mix another 1-2 minutes.
Mix add flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar until just combined. don't over mix at this point.
Optional: allow dough to cool in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before rolling it into balls.
In a shallow bowl, combine ¼ cup of sugar and 1 ½ Tbsp. of cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Roll dough into smooth, round balls, about 2-inches in diameter.
Roll the balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Place the dough balls on parchment lined baking sheets and press down in the middle for a flatter cookie.
Bake at 350º for 8-10 minutes, until edges start to brown. I really like to take them out at the 8-minute mark.
Let the cookies cool before placing them in an air tight container.
- Mixing the butter and sugar together for 4-5 minutes allows the dough to get fluffy with lots of air for a softer, chewier cookie.
