Cinnamon-Sugar Cookies

Buttery and sweet with a hint of spice, these cookie jar favorites are right for any occasion. If you prefer a slightly chewier cookie, reduce baking time to 10 minutes. A sprinkling of large-grained turbinado sugar makes a pretty presentation to attract buyers.

Yield: 48 cookies (serving size: 1 cookie)

Ingredients

• 1  cup  granulated sugar
• 6  tablespoons  butter, softened
• 1  tablespoon  light corn syrup
• 1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
• 1  large egg
• 1  cup  cake flour (about 4 ounces)
• 3/4  cup  all-purpose flour (about 3 1/3 ounces)
• 1  teaspoon  baking powder
• 1  teaspoon  baking soda
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/4  cup  turbinado sugar
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground cinnamon

Preparation

Place granulated sugar and butter in a bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 3 minutes). Add corn syrup, vanilla, and egg; beat 3 minutes or until well blended.

Lightly spoon cake flour and all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; stir until just combined. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine turbinado sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Shape dough into 48 balls, about 1 teaspoon each. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until golden on bottom. Cool on wire racks.
