Cinnamon Cookies

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Mixture. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and molasses. Add the flour and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the granulated sugar, softened butter, cinnamon, and vanilla, and beat for about 2 minutes until creamed.
Add eggs and egg yolk and beat until well combined.
Add your "sifted flour mixture" into your wet batter and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Be sure not to over mix.
Gently add and fold in your cinnamon swirl mixture to the cookie batter, but be sure not to over mix to ensure you have a distinct swirl.
Transfer the cookie dough to a fridge and let chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate (Pro tip: Allowing your dough to refrigerate for 2 hours will result in the best flavored cookie; however, 30 minutes works just fine.)
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove your chilled dough from the refrigerator. Use a 2 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop the dough into the parchment lined baking sheet. The dough should be about 2 -3 inches apart.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and the center is soft. Let the cookies rest for about 15 minutes or until set. It may be hard to resist the urge to sneak a taste, but it'll be worth it!
Once cooled, enjoy and feel free to add a comment on my blog! Also, be sure to share your photo on instagram and tag @butterloveandsalt! We would love to see how your cookies come out!
