If you’re like me and you’re a big fan of cinnamon, try these! They’re pretty simple and taste like little cinnamon rolls!
Ingredients
- 22 T butter, separated, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup + 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, separated
- 3 T cinnamon, separated
- 1½ cups sugar, separated
- 2 eggs, brought to room temperature
- 1 T vanilla
- 1 ¾ t cream of tartar
- 1 t baking soda
- ¼ t salt
- 3 ½ cups flour
Directions
In a medium bowl mix 6 T of butter, ¾ cups of the brown sugar and 1 ½ T cinnamon. Mix them together and roll them into tiny balls (like, half the size of a standard marble). They do NOT need to be uniform in size or shape, just small. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and put the sheet in the freezer while you make the dough.
In a large bowl put 16 T (2 sticks) of butter, the remaining 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1 cup of the regular sugar, the 2 eggs and the vanilla and mix until well combined. Add in the cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and mix again until well combined. Then, slowly add in the flour until that is also well combined.
Take the little cinnamon balls out of the freezer and throw them into the dough. Gently stir it so that the balls get distributed throughout the dough.
In a small bowl mix the remaining ½ cup sugar and the remaining 1 ½ T cinnamon and stir til combined – basically you’re making cinnamon sugar here.
Roll the dough into golfball sized balls, roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar and place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, 6 to a sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes or until they start to get a nice golden brown. Take the sheets out of the oven, let the cookies rest on them for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
This’ll make about 40 delicious cinnamon roll cookies!
