These easy drop cookies are a cinch to make but have a taste that's truly next level. After the dough gets mixed with a generous amount of cinnamon and vanilla, it's portioned out onto baking sheets and topped with a double coating of fine sanding sugar to create a crisp, crackly top once baked.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture. Beat until combined.
  • Scoop dough using a 1 1/2-inch scoop (about 1 1/2-tablespoons); transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula. Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar, then lightly brush with a wet pastry brush and sprinkle with more sanding sugar.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are just beginning to brown at edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

FANTASTIC CRACKLE TOP SUGAR-CINNAMON COOKIES



Fantastic Crackle Top Sugar-Cinnamon Cookies image

These are the most amazing sugar cookies. They bake out to a perfect round shape and are crispy around the edges! do not sub the Crisco butter flavor with regular butter, the cookie just will not have the same texture, and bake out very flat. If you are making these for Christmas, use red and green sugar, you can omit the cinnamon if desired and just roll in the sugar. I have even added 1 cup mini chocolate chips to the batter.... these cookies are fabulous!! Note, this recipe makes tons of cookies, so no need to double the recipe.

1/2 cup butter (no substitutions)
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar

  • Place 2-inches apart onto a ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-15 mins, or until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for the cookies, as salted butter can make the cookies taste too salty.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a soft and chewy cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking together.
