Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and hot for perfect baking!
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. This helps distribute the ingredients evenly.

8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Top Tips for Perfecting Cinnamon Coffee Cookies

• Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
• Ground Cinnamon: Opt for fresh ground cinnamon for a more vibrant flavor.
• Egg Substitution: If a vegan option is desired, you can replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, let it sit for five minutes).
• Variation: For those looking to add a nutty twist, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans into the dough!

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Cinnamon Coffee Cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you’re looking to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies for up to three months—just make sure to separate them with parchment paper before sealing them in a freezer bag.

When ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to regain that delightful warmth and softness.
