Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to create the filling.
Form the cookie dough into balls and roll them in the brown sugar mixture.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra special treat, consider adding a cream cheese frosting drizzle.
You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
