Soft, chewy, and utterly irresistible, these Cinnamon Butter Cookies are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour and the reserved baking soda mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter and egg for a better texture.

Using a silicone mat on the baking sheet helps with cookie spreading and cleanup.

Don’t overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

Scoop the dough balls when they’re still slightly soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Keep an eye on the cookies during the last 2 minutes of baking, as they can quickly go from underdone to overcooked.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freeze for longer storage.
