Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

     Hi!! So today I made these cinnamon roll inspired sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting, so the recipe for both will be here. They came out great, but they did take a while to get them perfect. You should definitely try them out though- so here's the recipe. 

Ingredients: Cookies

•  3 Cups flour 
• 3 Teaspoons baking powder 
• 2 Teaspoons cinnamon 
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt 
• 1 Cup softened butter   
• 1 Cup granulated sugar 
• 2 eggs 
• 1 Tablespoons pure vanilla extract 

Ingredients: Frosting 

• 8 oz Whipped cream cheese 
• 2 Teaspoons pure vanilla extract 
• 3/4 Cup butter 
• 2 1/2 Cup powdered sugar 
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon 

Instructions:

1. Whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder in a large bowl. 
2. In a separate bowl blend together the butter and sugar with a hand mixer, until well combined  
3. Into the butter mixture, add two eggs and the vanilla extract 
4. To the butter mixture, add the flour mixture- slowly- 1/2 cup at a time until all of the flour mixture is fully incorporated and has created the dough 
5. Let the dough chill for 30 minutes- while it's in the fridge pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
6. While you're waiting for the dough to chill you can start to make the frosting- combine the softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon and powdered sugar  with a hand mixer until it becomes a frosting- like consistency 
7. Transfer the frosting into a bag prepared for frosting the cookies
8. Once the dough has chilled, butter a cookie pan an separate the dough into 1" balls and flatten them with a flat surface until it's about 1/2 an inch on the pan. Repeat this until all the dough is used
9. Bake them for 8-13 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a golden brown
10. Let the cookies cool completely and you can decorate using the frosting and sprinkle them with ground cinnamon once you're done 

So- that's it. I had limited materials today but was still able to make these great cookies. They did take a while but they're really good and definitely worth it. I hope you try this recipe out for yourself.      :)
