🍪 Light & Crispy Cinnamon Butter Cookies

✨ Introduction

These cookies are pure magic—light as air, delicately buttery, and shatteringly crisp with every bite. The gentle warmth of cinnamon combined with sweet vanilla creates a comforting aroma that fills your kitchen instantly.

They’re the kind of cookies you make “just one batch” of… and then realize they’re gone before they’ve even cooled. Perfect with tea, coffee, or as a quick sweet snack any time of day!

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  2. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
  5. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Shape the Cookies

  1. Roll the dough into small balls or logs.
  2. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Gently flatten each piece with a fork or your fingers for a thin, crisp texture.

Step 3: Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  3. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely—they crisp up even more as they cool!
