Spiced Sugar Cookies
A delicious sweet chewy cookie with a hint of spice.
Ingredients
Cookie
- 225 grams butter
- 300 grams castor sugar (1 ½ cups)
- 50 grams brown sugar (¼ cup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 450 grams plain flour (3 cups)
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
Spiced Sugar Coating
- ½ cup castor sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp mixed spice
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 170℃ (330℉) and prepare your cookie trays.
- In a large pot melt the butter and take off the heat.
- Add the sugars and combine using a dough whisk and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Next add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla.
- Lastly add all the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Place in the fridge for an hour. The longer the dough is in the fridge the less the cookies will spread - so if you want a thin chewy cookie - take out a little earlier.
- Prepare your spiced sugar coating by placing all ingredients together. Place in a plate so you can coat each cookie ball easily.
- Scoop and roll your cookies into balls. Place in the sugar coating and roll about until each one is equally covered.
- It is a large batch. So if you wanted you could place half in the oven and half in the freezer. Freeze on a tray until solid and then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container until you need to bake them. You can bake from frozen.
- There is no need to flatten the balls with a fork.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. leave on the tray for 5 minutes to allow the cookies to solidify before transferring to cooling rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
