Ingredients
  

Dough:

  • ½ cup salted butter softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour (7.3 ounces)
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt

Topping:

  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone, or spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 2-3 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until flour mixture is incorporated.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into tablespoon-sized balls.
  • Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on prepared cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350° for about 10 minutes, or until barely set in the middle.
  • Let cookies cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
