Regular Spanish Cookies Easy Homemade Cinnamon Butter Sweet Snack Dessert

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Use the back of a fork to gently flatten each ball, creating a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
