Recipe Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Dry Mixture: In a bowl, stir or mix together the flour, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a mixer, combine the softened butter, eggs, and both sugars. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, about a third of a cup at a time, ensuring thorough blending with each addition.
- Form Cookies: Scoop out the cookie dough to create approximately thirty mounds, ensuring they are spaced well apart on lightly greased or nonstick baking sheets.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies turn a golden brown hue.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on wire racks before serving or storing.
Tips and Tricks:
- Butter Quality: Opt for real butter for the best flavor and texture.
- Powdered Sugar: Don’t be alarmed by the substitution; powdered sugar adds a delicate sweetness and a tender crumb to the cookies.
- Cinnamon Magic: The addition of cinnamon elevates these cookies to a whole new level, imparting warmth and depth to every bite.
- Cookie Texture: For a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies, and for a crunchier bite, allow them to bake until golden brown.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
