I know, I know...why would I ever turn the oven on in July? But these cookies will be your go-to for summer baking, I promise. Three ingredients and 10 minutes in the mixer, then throw in the fridge until ready to bake. Here I've sprinkled on cinnamon-sugar for snickerdoodles, but you can also add cocoa powder to make them chocolate or just dip them in chocolate post-baking - the possibilities are endless. You can also easily make them gluten-free - I sub'd rice flour for wheat with great success.

Ingredients
1 cup butter, at room temp
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Preparation
In a mixer, combine butter, flour and powdered sugar. Mix on medium speed for a full 10 minutes.
Spoon out onto one end of a rectangle of parchment. Spread in a line and then use the parchment to roll into a cylinder. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl, set aside and then preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut cookies from the cylinder about 1/4-1/2" thick.
Lay onto a cooking spray lined cookie sheet covered with foil. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake 12 minutes until just slightly golden. Remove gently to a wire rack to cool. Eat!
