Ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and salt. Stir in cinnamon. In another medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix until well blended. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough that is not too sticky or too dry. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness (about 12 inches long). Cut cookies using a biscuit cutter or an ice cream scoop; place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
