Servings: 6 cookies
Cost: $2
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup softened butter
- ¼ cup+1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Cinnamon sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. Set this aside. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for coating and set this aside as well.
Cream the butter and granulated sugar until it is light and creamy. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla. At this point forward, only mix to combine the ingredients. If you overmix, the cookies will be tough.
Add in the flour mixture, again, only mixing to combine. Then scoop the dough into 6 cookies. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes. Do not overbake or the cookies will dry out and be crumbly!
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving them. I love mine with a cold glass of milk, but you can eat them anyway you like.
