Leave out a few of these cinnamon-spiced cookies for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve. Perfect for the festive biscuit tin, you could add some raisins too

Provided by Cate Dixon

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 8

120g softened salted butter
50g light brown muscovado sugar
150g golden caster sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten
220g plain flour
50g raisins (optional)
1 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
  • Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
