Ingredients

  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Plus 1 Tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Butter Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar Plus ¼ cup for topping
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ cup Vanilla Kefir Lifeway

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set that aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, and kefir to the stand mixer and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer and mix for 1 minute until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
  • With an ice cream scoop, scoop out a portion of the dough and roll it into the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place the dough ball on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake the cookies for 12 minutes until just slightly browned.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Instead of vanilla kefir, original flavor or pumpkin spice can be substituted. 
  • The cookies are done when they are just slightly browned and they have spread.
  • Make sure to leave room between each cookie as they do tend to spread a lot.
