Spiced Sugar Cookies

Print Recipe
Chewy, cinnamon-sugar coated Spiced Sugar Cookies are the best cookie for your Christmas tin or any time of the year!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup White sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Brown sugar light or dark brown sugar works
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Clove
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg freshly grated nutmeg!
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 8 Tbsp Butter at room temperature

Cinnamon-sugar

  • 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup White Sugar

Instructions

  • In a mixer on high speed, mix butter and both white and brown sugars until fluffy. 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and whip in the mixer until just combined.
  • Combine the flour and spices in a separate bowl and slowly incorporate into the wet ingredients of the mixer at a low speed until combined.
  • Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 90 minutes, but you can chill it overnight too!
  • When ready to bake, form the dough into little dough balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the cookie balls on a lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Use a cookie stamp or your hand to gently press/smash them.
  • Bake at 375 for no more than 10-12 minutes! They might seem soft when you pull them out but they will be perfectly chewy once cooled!
