Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional and to taste

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large egg, cream (or milk), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, and salt (if using). Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Mix granulated sugar with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Roll the tops of each cookie dough ball in this mixture.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, do not overbake.
  • Chill the dough for thicker cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
