Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour and cinnamon mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Mince 2 garlic cloves finely and fold them into the dough mixture for a unique, savory twist. This step is optional and can be omitted for a traditional sweet flavor.
- Place 1/3 cup of brown sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Roll the ball in the brown sugar until evenly coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve your cinnamon snaps with a cup of tea or coffee, or enjoy them on their own as a delightful treat!
Tips:
- Measure your ingredients accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure all the ingredients precisely. This ensures that the cookies bake evenly and have the perfect consistency.
- Use room temperature butter: Allow the butter to come to room temperature before mixing. This helps it to incorporate better with the other ingredients, resulting in a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to firm it up, making it easier to handle and shape. It also prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Bake in batches: To ensure even baking, place the cookies on a baking sheet with enough space between them. Bake in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the sheet.
- Store properly: Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps to maintain their crispness.
- Optional addition: For an extra burst of flavor, you can sprinkle a little additional cinnamon sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
In just a short amount of time, you can have a batch of delicious cinnamon snaps ready to enjoy. Their delightful crunch and warm cinnamon flavor make them a perfect treat for any occasion. Serve them with a cup of tea or coffee, and you'll have a delightful snack that everyone will love.
