Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
-
All-Purpose Flour: The backbone of any cookie; use a good quality flour for the best results.
-
Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness; consider using superfine sugar for an extra tender texture.
-
Baking Powder: Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy; make sure it’s fresh for optimal results.
-
Cinnamon: This is the star of the show; choose fresh ground cinnamon for maximum flavor impact.
-
Butter: Use unsalted butter at room temperature to create a rich, creamy dough.
-
Eggs: Vital for binding everything together; use large eggs for consistency in baking.

Vanilla Extract: Just a splash adds depth to your cookies; opt for pure vanilla extract if you can.

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when your cookies are ready to bake. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined. This honestly takes just a minute but makes all the difference in even distribution.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy—about 3 minutes should do it. The mixture should be pale yellow and have a fluffy texture.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated; you’ll notice how creamy it becomes—don’t forget to scrape down those sides!
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing—this keeps your cookies soft!
Scoop and Bake Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft—watch them closely so they don’t overbake!
Enjoy making these Soft and Chewy Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies All the Flavor Without the Fuss! Their irresistible taste will surely win hearts around your home.
Content: Using fresh cinnamon and high-quality butter elevates flavor and texture significantly. I learned this the hard way by using margarine once—never again!
Watch the dough consistency; it should be soft yet manageable. Too sticky? Add a hint of flour. My first batch turned into a sticky mess, but now I know better.
Let the cookies cool slightly before frosting them. This prevents the icing from melting away. Trust me, I’ve sacrificed plenty of frosting to the cookie gods in my early days!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by creaming the butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in wet ingredients before gradually adding dry ones. This ensures even distribution of flavors.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an unexpected twist! Experimenting with different spices can also enhance your cookie experience.
Storing & Reheating
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For reheating, pop them in a microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore softness.
Chef's Helpful Tips
- Always chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking; this helps shape perfect cookies
- If you’re short on time, freeze individual cookie balls for quick baking later
- Don’t skip the frosting; it’s what makes these cookies sing!
I remember making these cookies for my best friend’s birthday party. They disappeared faster than you could say “sugar rush,” and everyone asked for the recipe!
