Baking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
  • In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together room temperature butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Next add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Scrape down sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • With mixer on low-speed, gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until incorporated, do not over-mix!
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
  • To make the cinnamon sugar, mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Measure about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough using a cookie dough scoop, roll into a ball and then roll in cinnamon sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Cookies will look puffy when they are done. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll into balls but is not strictly necessary.
