Cinnamon Butter Cookies
These Cinnamon Butter Cookies may seem simple, but they are far from it. The sweet buttery flakiness paired with a subtle cinnamon kick is a delectable combination. Its the perfect addition to any cookie swap or holiday gathering! GUEST POST by I am Baker
Howdy all! My name is Amanda and I blog at iambaker.net. I like to make really sweet and over the top desserts. The more calories the better.
You can imagine what my New Years Resolutions are every year. 😉
Last year I created a delicious marshmallow and red velvet cookies for Katrina and they were a BIG hit in our family. I mean big. I was pretty certain that I would not be able to top that , so I decided to go back to basics. This is a classes cookie with a little (yet awesome) twist!
Thanks so much for letting me hang out here today… I adore Katrina and just know I would adore all her fabulous readers!
Cinnamon Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in medium bowl and set aside. Beat butter and sugar in stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Turn mixer to low and slowly add in egg and vanilla.
- With mixer still on low, gradually beat in flour mixture until well mixed.
- Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork. (Like as would a peanut butter cookie)
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. When cookies have cooled slightly, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.

These are fantastic. I used these beauties at my family cookie swap and they were a huge hit. I was all out of nutmeg so I substituted with ground cloves and it worked amazing. The way these cookies smelled when they were baking is the perfect aroma of Christmas. I think it’s also worth noting that this recipe doubles wonderfully!
I love cinnamon cookies! These sound wonderful!
I wish I had a couple of these right now! They look way better than the rolos I just devoured
