Frosted Cinnamon Cookies
Ingredients
380 grams (13.5 oz or 3 cups) all-purpose flour
10 grams (2 tsp) baking powder
150 grams (5.3 oz or ¾ cup) white sugar
50 grams (1.9 oz or ¼ cup) brown sugar
225 grams (2 sticks) butter
1 egg
7 milliliters (1 ½ tsp) pure vanilla extract
For the frosting
113 grams (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
220 grams (7.75 oz or 1 cup) brown sugar
1 pinch of salt
60 milliliters (2 fl oz or ¼ cups) milk
5 milliliters (1 tsp) vanilla
320 grams (11.25 oz or 2 ½ cups) confectioners’ sugar
Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder and the cinnamon.
3
In a big bowl, cream the sugar and the butter. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
4
Gradually add the flour mixture and beat just until combined, scraping down the bowl, especially the bottom.
5
Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut into shapes. Place on parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cutter.
6
Let them sit a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
7
While the cookies are baking, make the caramel frosting. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in the brown sugar and the salt. Cook on low for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Finally, add the milk.
8
Remove the mixture from the heat and add the vanilla. Let cool and then add the powdered sugar.
9
When the cookies are completely cool, go ahead and frost them. Let the frosted cookies sit overnight for the frosting to settle well.
