Indulge in the cozy, spiced flavors of **German Cinnamon Jumbo Cookies**, the ultimate treat for cinnamon lovers! These oversized delights are soft and chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crispness on the edges. Bursting with the warmth of cinnamon and lightly dusted with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping, these cookies make a perfect companion to your afternoon coffee or holiday gatherings. Made with simple pantry staples like unsalted butter, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour, plus a generous dose of fragrant cinnamon, they’re easy to whip up in under 40 minutes. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or just yourself, these rustic jumbo cookies deliver big on both flavor and charm.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. If the dough feels too thick, add the optional milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls (about 75 grams each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Do not overbake.
While the cookies bake, mix the powdered sugar and additional ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create the topping.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the cookies are warm (not hot), sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the tops of the cookies.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
