Bread crumbs are the secret ingredient in these irresistibly crunchy cinnamon panko cookies.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, panko, cinnamon and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
  2. Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Drop into remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar; roll lightly to coat (reserve remaining sugar). Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned and tops are cracked, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  3. Once cooled, toss in remaining confectioners' sugar; shake off excess.
