A delicious and easy way to make everyone’s favorite cookie! I love the added salt to give these decadently sweet cookies a little bit of a savory kick. Huge fan of a sweet and savory moment!

These sugar cookies with a cinnamon sugar coating are perfect for groups, and I would even suggest including some melted chocolate on the side or adding some cocoa or coffee grounds to the batter to give it a bit of a kick.

The base sugar cookie dough is perfect for any variation you have in mind – you can really make these your own! This classic staple is one of the sweetest and tastiest cookies I’ve made.
