Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups salted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 1-2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • milk (to thin)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Scrape the sides, add in the eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed.
  • Scrape the sides and add in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Scoop out 1/3 cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, seperate out a few tbsp worth of the cinnamon sugar and reserve it for sprinkling on top of the cookie after frosting.
  • Roll and press the cinnamon and sugar onto the cookie dough. Flatten the cookie dough gently so it is in the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Arrange 6 cookies per pan. Bake at 350° for 14-17 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
  • while the cookies are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping the butter until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, adding a little bit of milk after each cup of powdered sugar to keep the consistency like a thick frosting.
  • Once you have added all of the powdered sugar, mix in the cinnamon thoroughly.
  • Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a large round piping tip or alternatively you can add the frosting to a gallon sized zip top bag, cut the corner of the bag and use it to pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral. Start in the center of the cookie and work your way out.
  • Sprinkle some extra cinnamon and sugar on top- serve warm!
