Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Soften to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup sugar For the dough.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt If using salted butter, reduce this by half.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon For the dough.
For rolling
  • 1/2 cup sugar Mix with a little extra cinnamon for rolling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the softened butter and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be soft but manageable.
  6. Combine the 1/2 cup sugar with a pinch of extra cinnamon in a small bowl for rolling.
Baking
  1. Scoop or roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar to coat.
  2. Place the coated balls on the prepared sheets and press each ball down gently to flatten slightly.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Cool the cookies on wire racks.
