Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Use a good quality flour for the fluffiest result.
- 1/2 cup sugar Feel free to use brown sugar for a little extra depth.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened This will lend richness and moistness.
- 1 large egg Helps bind the ingredients together.
- 1 tsp baking powder For fluffy, tender texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds that homey, sweet aroma.
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon The quintessential holiday spice.
- 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mixing bowl.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to combine without overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, dollop the batter onto a lined baking sheet, spacing about two inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden and aromatic.
- Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Using room temperature ingredients ensures a homogenous batter. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for enhanced flavors. Leftovers can be transformed into bread pudding or stored for up to a week.
