Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for sprinkling)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup heavy cream (for whipped cream)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Cookies with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
8. While the cookies are baking, prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cookies are cool, top each cookie with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful cinnamon sugar cookies!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center for the best texture.
• For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
• If you prefer a thicker whipped cream, beat it until stiff peaks form.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the cookie dough for added texture and flavor.
• Substitute half of the granulated sugar for brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
• Try adding a splash of almond extract for a different twist on the flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A hot cup of coffee or tea complements the sweetness of the cookies.
• Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• Pair with fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or apple slices, for a refreshing contrast.
