Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Red Hot Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good stir to blend the dry ingredients together.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins!
Step 4
Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until it's fully incorporated, creating a rich and fluffy base for your cookies.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, blending until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want those cookies to be tender!
Step 6
Now, fold in the cinnamon chips and the fiery cinnamon candies, mixing gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 7
Using a spoon, drop dollops of dough about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. This spacing allows the cookies to spread beautifully as they bake.
Step 8
Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Keep an eye on them; you want that perfect golden hue!
Step 9
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the pans for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture.
