Cinnamon cookies

Ingredients (for approx. 20 cookies):

• 250 g flour
• 125 g butter (soft)
• 100 g sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt

For the cinnamon-sugar coating:

• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Preparation:

Prepare the dough

Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Gradually work in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until you have a smooth dough.

Cool the dough

Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for around 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Shaping the cookies

Form small balls from the dough (about the size of a walnut). Roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and flatten the balls slightly.

Baking

Place the cookies slightly apart on the baking tray and bake for approx. 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Leave to cool

Remove the cookies from the oven and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tip

The cookies taste particularly good with a hot cup of tea or coffee. For a special touch, you can mix chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough.

Have fun baking and enjoying! 😊
