Cinnamon Butter Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream together 1 cup butter and white sugar. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine together the sifted flour, salt and ground cinnamon and stir into butter mixture.
• Cover and chill dough for 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly flour a rolling pin. Roll out dough on lightly floured wax paper and cut with cookie cutter. As dough warms it becomes unworkable. Return to refrigerator as needed. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
• To Make Icing: Sift confectioners' sugar into mixing bowl. Add vanilla, salt, and butter. Add milk one tablespoon at a time while beating until spreadable consistency. Continue beating on medium for 10 minutes. Ice cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend sugars with a mixer. Add butter and mix.
• Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until light and fluffy.
• Add flour mixture and blend just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
• Roll in combination of remaining sugar and cinnamon.
• Place 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes.
• Remove immediately from pan and cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine the 3 tablespoons white sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Blend dark brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed. Add butter and blend until grainy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
• Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to sugar mixture, mixing at low speed just long enough to combine. Overmixing makes tough cookies!
• Roll dough into 1inch balls, then roll each ball into cinnamon-sugar to coat. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from sheets and let cool on racks.

Steps:

• Place on ungreased cookie sheets, 2-inches apart.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until done.

• (I'm not sure of the yield, so I've just included an estimate).

Steps:

• Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
• Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
