Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup water
Filling and Flavoring:
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Coating:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C). In a saucepan, melt butter with water until boiling, then immediately remove from heat.
- Swiftly incorporate flour, cinnamon, and salt, stirring vigorously until the mixture transforms into a cohesive dough ball.
- Integrate eggs one at a time, ensuring thorough blending after each addition to create a smooth, elastic consistency.
- Carefully deposit spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, maintaining uniform spacing between each cookie.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- While cookies are still radiating heat, prepare the coating by whisking together sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Gently tumble each warm cookie through the fragrant cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Transfer coated cookies to a cooling rack, allowing excess sugar to settle and the exterior to crisp slightly.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar coating to suit different taste preferences.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative like almond or coconut flour.
- Experiment with filling options such as chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, or cream cheese for added variety.
- Ensure even baking by using a uniform scoop size and leaving enough space between cookies on the baking sheet.
