Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 10 tbsp. (4 oz.) sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 1⁄2 cups plus 2 tbsp. (12 oz.) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 ⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 ⁄8 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. water
• 1 ⁄4 cup turbinado sugar
• 1 1⁄2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, sugar, and egg yolk until fluffy. Add all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and water; beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface, flatten until 1⁄4 inch thick, and cut out cookies using a 1 3⁄4-inch-star or circle cutter. Transfer the cookies to baking sheets. Combine turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle cookies with cinnamon-sugar, and bake until golden on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
