Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cookie Dough:

• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

3. Shape the Cookies:

• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

4. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

5. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:

• While the cookies are cooling, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.

6. Coat the Cookies:

• While still warm, roll each cookie in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Tips for Success

• Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
