Easy Cinnamon Cookies (Biscuits) Recipe
Homemade cinnamon cookies that’s sweet, cinnamony and so tasty! They’re soft in the middle and slightly crispy around the edges; the perfect treat for cookie lovers.
Have you tried cinnamon cookies before? Lately I’ve been so obsessed with them!
They’re a warm and deep cookie full of cinnamon and ready to eat in just 25 minutes. The perfect cookie for autumn, Christmas and to eat all year round too. Once you bake a batch of this, I’m sure you won’t just try one! They’re a real crowd pleaser and are totally irresistible.
Get ready for your home to smell so good when making these easy cinnamon cookies (or biscuits). What I love the most is the cinnamon and sugar mixture that covers the cookie dough balls before being baked in the oven. It creates a delicate sweet layer flavoured with cinnamon that’s a tiny bit crunchy before going into a soft and fluffy centre.
The Perfect Autumn And Christmas Cookie
Whenever I think of cinnamon cookies, I always think of Christmas (though I normally start baking them from autumn).
Cinnamon is one of those spices that give of a festive Christmas scent: it’s warm, comforting and the perfect flavour for a cold winter day.
It’s the perfect homemade Christmas gift and I’m sure these cookies will put a smile on anyone’s face! They’ll make a lovely gift that you can wrap up in cellophane paper and tie with a ribbon to make it look fancy.

Recipe Ingredients
Below are the few ingredients needed to make these cookies:
- Plain Flour: Flour is the base ingredient; it helps to bind all the other ingredients together.
- Baking Powder: The addition of baking powder helps the cinnamon cookies to spread out whilst baking in the oven.
- Egg: Use eggs at room temperature. I used one small egg.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon is the main flavour, 1 teaspoon is added into the cookie dough, there’s also a mixture of sugar and cinnamon that each ball of dough is rolled into.
- Butter: I used stork margarine; you can also use butter.
- Sugar: I used equal amounts of caster sugar and light brown sugar for chewy cookies. If you don’t have both types of sugar, then you can use one or the other.
- Flavourings: Vanilla and a pinch of salt is added to provide even more flavour.
