Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • For rolling: ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar mixed with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • For the glaze (optional): 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 to 2 tsp milk as needed

Method
 

  1. Whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add milk, egg, and vanilla, then whisk until combined.
  2. Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and fold just until a dough forms.
  3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each completely in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12 minutes, until edges are golden. Let sit on sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  5. Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tsp milk, adding more milk until a thick ribbon falls from the whisk. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set for 10 minutes.

Notes

If you skip the glaze, the cookies still deliver plenty of cinnamon flavor. They will be a touch soft right out of the oven but firm up as they cool. Store leftovers with parchment between layers to keep the tops from getting sticky.
