🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
5Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture.
6Mix well until combined.
7Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together.
8Be careful not to overmix.
9The dough should be slightly crumbly and not too sticky.
10Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a cohesive ball.
11If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
12If it is too dry, add a small amount of water.
13Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
14Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
15In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
16Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cookies, pressing down gently to ensure it sticks.
17Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
18The centers should still be slightly soft.
19The cookies will firm up as they cool.
20Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
21This will help them maintain their shape and prevent them from breaking.

For the best results, I recommend using whole wheat flour as it provides a nuttier flavor and better texture compared to all-purpose flour.
