Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted European-style butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour for a more delicate texture)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for coating
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, for coating
Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, combine powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- While the cookies are still warm, gently roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are completely coated.
- (Optional) For an extra-generous coating, let the cookies cool slightly and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture again.
