These gluten-free cinnamon sugar cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with warm cinnamon flavour. They’re one of my favourite cozy treats to bake — and nobody ever guesses they’re gluten-free!

Whether you’re baking for the holidays, or just craving something sweet with a cup of coffee, these cookies are always a hit.

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
6. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

8. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centres are slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
