Old Fashioned Cinnamon Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans (broken or chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a medium-size bowl using an electric mixer blend the butter and sugars together until creamy, add the eggs, and continue mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix in the egg and sugar mixture along with the nuts to form the dough.
  4. Drop a heaping teaspoon at a time onto a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with cookie spray, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart, and bake for 8-10 minutes. When done cookies will start to crack on top.
  5. (If you makes these to the size of the recipe it will make about 7 dozen-I formed mine about the size of meat balls because I like larger cookies it made 3 dozen. If you do this increase your baking time to 12-15 minutes.)
