Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 22 to 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
5 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon maple extract

Steps:

  • For the cookie dough: Cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and continue to mix until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg until well combined. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture slowly until incorporated and the dough has come together. Cover and chill for 15 for 20 minutes.
  • For the filling: Tip the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll out into a 16-by-8-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Pour over the melted butter and, using your hands, spread the butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle over the cinnamon and then the granulated sugar. Starting with the long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly, just as you would with cinnamon rolls, and pinch the seam together when you reach the end. Cut the log in half. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap, put on a baking sheet and chill until firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Unwrap the cookie dough and transfer to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets and bake until set and the edges begin to brown slightly, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
  • For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add the maple extract and taste. Add more confectioners' sugar or butter as needed; the glaze should be thick but still pourable. Drizzle the glaze back and forth over the cookies and allow to set before serving, 10 to 12 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt

Steps:

  • For the cookie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor or mini chopper until finely ground. Whisk the ground oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Mix the butter and 1 cup of the granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, using either a hand mixer with a large bowl or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture until the dough is well combined.
  • Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, flatten and form the dough into a football shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over the surface. Bake until the cookie is light golden brown and set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For the frosting: Beat the butter until creamy on medium speed in a medium bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and salt. Beat until thick and creamy. Spoon the frosting into a quart-size zippered bag. Snip a small piece from the corner and pipe to create football laces or any other desired decorations.

CINNAMON COOKIES

These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. They make up easily, and they disappear fast. I make these every year when we put up our Christmas Tree. I serve them with hot Cocoa while we decorate our tree. I swear the cookies are anticipated as much as the tree!

CINNAMON COOKIES

Leave out a few of these cinnamon-spiced cookies for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve. Perfect for the festive biscuit tin, you could add some raisins too

Provided by Cate Dixon

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 8

120g softened salted butter
50g light brown muscovado sugar
150g golden caster sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten
220g plain flour
50g raisins (optional)
1 tbsp icing sugar

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and unsalted butter will give your cookies the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier your cookies will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Bake the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan and will make them easier to remove.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before icing them: This will help the icing set properly and prevent it from running off the cookies.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon football cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a sweet and festive treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
