Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened (salted butter preferred)
  • 2 cups white sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 & 1/2 cups sugar until pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon.
  • Shape dough into about 1-3/4 inch balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the cookie dough balls about 3 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. (Note: Oven temperatures may vary, so cooking time may need adjusting.)

Notes

  • If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them.
  • Ensure the dough balls are spaced apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
  • These cookies freeze well! After baking, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
