Ingredients
- ⅓ cup + 1 ½ cup granulated sugar, separated
- 3 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon, separated
- 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (preferably fresh grated)
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons room-temperature unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° and have ready a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup granulated sugar and 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add 1 ½ cup granulated sugar and the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If you do not have a stand mixer, use a large mixing bowl and a handheld mixer. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll the top in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and place on the baking sheet at least 2" apart. Bake for 14 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
