Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add 1 cup of the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. At low speed, beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix at low speed until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough in half and pat it into 2 disks. Wrap each disk in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling out.
- Preheat the oven to 325 °. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough 1/8 inch thick. Using 2-inch cookie cutters, stamp out shapes as close together as possible and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle the cookies with the additional sugar and bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until crisp and light brown around the edges and on top; rotate the baking sheets once for even baking. Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a rack to cool.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
