Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted softened butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar or monk fruit
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons sugar or monk fruit for rolling

Instructions

  • Thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the unsalted softened butter and sugar to a separate large bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on a low speed to combine the butter and sugar. Then, add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Combine these ingredients with your mixer.
  • Once the wet ingredients are combined, add the dry ingredients to the bowl a little at a time. Continue to use your mixer on a low speed to thoroughly combine all of the wet and dry ingredients.
  • Make sure all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. *If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk as needed. Then, transfer the cookie dough to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
  • Once the dough has chilled, remove the plastic wrap. Then, use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop and roll the dough into balls with your hands. With the batter, make 18-22 cookies. Fill a bowl with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then, roll each ball of cookie dough in the sugar.
  • Add the cookie dough balls to a sheet pan with parchment paper. There is no need to press the cookies down. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, let them slightly cool and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: These cinnamon sugar cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days.
  • Chill The Dough: It is important to chill the dough before baking these cookies. Chilling the cookie dough helps the ingredients come together and makes the dough more firm.
