These delicious Cinnamon Cookies are sugar and spice all things nice! So easy to make, fragrant and totally irresistible! Dust with cinnamon sugar for extra crunch.
Preheat the oven to 170C | 340F. Line 3 trays with baking paper.
Beat the butter and sugar together using the paddle attachment until well combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl midway through.
Gradually add the beaten egg and honey and beat until well incorporated.
Add the flour, wheatgerm, spices and salt and briefly beat together until just combined β do not overbeat or the cookies will be tough. You can use a spatula to fold everything together if you prefer.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worktop and gather into a ball. Flatten to form adisk, wrap in clingflirm and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Dust your worktop and rolling pin with flour. Roll out the dough to 3mm ( 1/8in) thick and cut shapes using floured cookie cutters.
Transfer the cookies to the trays, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, in batches if necessary, until cookies are just starting to colour at the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a little bowl. Brush the cookies with a little melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
