Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms. It should be soft and easy to handle, but not sticky.
Form the Bites: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each dough ball as they will spread slightly while baking.
Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The center should still be soft.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the cookies are cooling slightly, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Coat the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled for about 5 minutes, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them completely. Place them back on the baking sheet to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cookies have cooled, enjoy your Vanilla Cinnamon Sugar Christmas Bites! They make a perfect addition to your holiday cookie tray.
Tips:
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon in the coating mixture.
- For extra festive flair, try adding some red and green sugar crystals to the cinnamon sugar mixture!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
Conclusion:
These Vanilla Cinnamon Sugar Christmas Bites are soft, buttery, and perfectly spiced for the holidays. The sweet cinnamon sugar coating adds a warm, comforting touch, making these treats an irresistible addition to your festive celebrations. Enjoy with a hot cup of cocoa or share with loved ones!
