Ingredients
To create these delightful cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bake your own batch of Cinnamon Tea Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this stage.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly underbaked—this is perfect!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
