Cinnamon French Toast Cookies

December 19, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 37 Comments

Cinnamon French Toast Cookies ~ Don’t underestimate these unassuming cookies. Its breakfast meets Christmas cookie for some holiday baking fun.

Cinnamon French Toast Cookies

Cinnamon French Toast Cookies

This is a Christmas cookie favorite. It’s easy to make and always one of my most popular cookie creations for the annual holiday cookie exchange amongst my friends and me. It’s also one of those cookies that is almost as popular as chocolate chip cookies amongst our kids as well.

I know its Christmas crunch week, so I’m going to keep it short and get right to the recipe.

A few notes:

  • The dough can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to a month.
  • The dough will be wet and sticky right after mixing and will need to be chilled before rolling into a log.
  • Since this dough is best handled as a log and then sliced, don’t forget to turn the log as you slice to keep a round cookie shape.
  • Make two logs so that the log doesn’t become too soft from the warmth of your hand while slicing.
  • Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days.

Cinnamon French Toast Cookies

Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bake sheet with parchment

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, plus 2 tablespoon of cinnamon for divided use
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar,
  • ½ cup granulated sugar, plus ¼ cup sugar for divided use
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a bowl; set aside. Cream butter, cream cheese and both sugars until pale and fluffy. Lightly mix egg and egg yolk in a separate bowl and add to creamed butter, mix until combined. Add in maple syrup and vanilla extract, mix until combined. Add flour mixture in and using a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula fold until incorporated.

2.Divide dough in half and shape into flat rectangles. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Remove chilled dough and on a lightly floured surface,start rolling dough from one long length side edge to another. Return rolled logs to chill for another two hours or overnight.

3. Mix remaining cinnamon and sugar and place inside a fine mesh shaker or in a fine mesh sieve.

3. Using a knife slice dough into ¼ inch thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on parchment lined bake sheet. Using a sieve or a fine mesh shaker lightly cover cookies with cinnamon and sugar mixture over sliced cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

    Cinnamon French Toast cookies is a genius idea! The dusting of cinnamon sugar before baking must make these extra cinnamony. I love a good slice and bake cookie during the holidays, it’s always nice to have some ready to bake cookie dough in the freezer.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
