For the Cookies

For the Cinnamon Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Prepare the Cookie Dough

  • Combine the softened butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  • Use an electric hand mixer to whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla. Whisk for one minute.
  • Reduce the speed of your hand mixer and gently whisk in the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Make sure no dry or wet pockets remain in your cookie dough.
  • Set the cookie dough aside.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar

  • Add the softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon to a bowl.
  • Stir the mixture to combine.

Make Cookie Dough Balls

  • Break the cinnamon sugar mixture into large pieces and gently fold it into the cookie dough to create a marbling effect in the cookie dough.
  • Use a standard-size cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet.

Bake the Cookies

  • Bake your cookies for 12 minutes.
  • Let them cool for a few minutes and then move them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Leave space: These spread slightly, so space dough balls 2 inches apart.
Chill if needed: If the dough feels too soft, chill for 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t overmix swirl: Fold gently to keep the marbled look intact.
Watch the bake: Pull cookies when edges look set but centers still seem soft.
