Simple to make and perfectly chewy, they are a timeless favorite for a holiday gathering or a sweet treat at home.
Makes: 2 Dozen
Cinnamon Sugar
- ¼ Sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp Cinnamon
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Salted butter, softened
- 1½ Cup Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Large eggs from Guell Family Funny Farm, room temperature
- 2¾ Cup All-purpose flour
- 1¼ tsp Cream of tartar
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ¾ tsp Salt
Instructions

- In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream together butter and 1½ cups sugar. Blend about 4 minutes, until fluffy texture.
- Add eggs and vanilla, and cream together an additional 2 minutes.
- Gently stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, until just combined.
- In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and sugar for cinnamon sugar mixture. Wrap dough in plastic wrap & chill 30 minutes. Roll into small balls, about an inch in diameter. Drop into cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well.
