- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs At room temperature.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
Forming the Cookies
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons in size.
- Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat evenly.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten them with your palm.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a little soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
