Cinnamon Cookies

These are divine. So cinnamon-y and sugar-y. Crunchy and soft.

Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar + 1/2 cup, reserved
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. ground cinnamon + 1 tbsp. reserved
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt


Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of sugar and the butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until incorporated.
4. In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
5. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in small increments until just combined.
6. Once combined, set aside in refrigerator for one hour. This allows the dough to firm up so it's easier to roll into balls.
7. Once the dough is set, shape the balls into rounded tablespoons.
8. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tbsp. cinnamon and stir to combine.
9. Roll each ball of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough balls approximately 2-3 inches apart.

11. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and the top of the cookies begin to crinkle.
12. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet until they have hardened a little. Then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
