Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
2 tbsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla until well combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared sheets, spaced two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
Let cool slightly before rolling warm cookies in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
