Want a cookie that gives you all the warm and cozy feels? These cinnamon sugar cookies are it! Soft and chewy, these cookies have cinnamon infused into the batter and are also rolled in cinnamon sugar before being baked. There's no chilling involved so you can bake these from start to finish in under 30 minutes!
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. You'll have to reuse them.
In a large bowl, or in the bowl of a hand or stand mixer, add the 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon and cream using a thick wooden spoon or mix on low speed.
When the mixture is creamed thoroughly and on the fluffy side, add in the 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 tsp vanilla extract and cream until well combined. About 1 minute. Move to medium speed on a mixer if using.
Once well combined, add the dry ingredients- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp corn starch, 3/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Mix again until a soft dough forms.
On a plate or a shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon and mix together. Using a 1-2 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Set on the prepared cookies sheet and repeat till you have 8 cookies per sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes. Immediately when they come out of the oven, scoot them in fast circles with your hand using a larger cookie cutter around the cookie. See post for details.
Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top of the cookies if you want to add more texture!
Notes
You can make these minis by making the cookies smaller and baking for 8 minutes.
