Simple Cinnamon Cookies

By: Liora

These cookies are kinda cake-like and chewy, they’re not quite brown, but they’re not too light.

These cinnamon cookies ended up being SO delicious! I invented the recipe myself, it was only a ten minute prep time, and a ten minute bake time, that’s only twenty minutes! The recipe made about twenty-four cookies.

When I was getting the ingredients ready, I realized I didn’t have enough butter! We only had 2 tablespoons of butter left! And we needed 1\2 cup! { 1 stick } So I looked up what was a substitute for butter, and guess what! Applesauce was able to be used as a substitute! You could kinda taste the apple in the end, but it was REALLY good! It kinda tasted like cinnamon apple cookies!

I was REALLY happy with how they turned out, they are SO good, I hope you will try this recipe, I’m sure you will be happy with what you turn up with too!

My family LOVES these cookies! As a bonus, when you take the cookies out of the oven, they make a sweet cinnamon smell travel through the house, you can really tell that someone baked cookies!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup crushed pecans (optional)

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a baking sheet by layering it with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
3. In a large mixing bowl mix… flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, mix thoroughly. Set aside.
4. Warm up butter for 30 second to a minute (unless the butter is already softened). Add butter to a medium mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, and applesauce to butter and mix thoroughly.
5. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix thoroughly.
6. Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
7. OPTIONAL: Add pecans and gently mix.
8. On prepared baking sheet, scoop 1 tablespoon spoonfuls with about a 2 inch separation between each scoop.
9. Cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

   If they don’t look cooked enough, or cooked at all, put them in the oven for a bit more. They will cook slightly after being taken out of the oven, so keep that in mind.
10. Once taken out of the oven let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet before moving them to a cookie rack.
11. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle cookies lightly with cinnamon/sugar while still warm.
