Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles or colored sugar (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked.
  8. Enjoy the aroma and let them cool slightly before serving!

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Store in an airtight container to maintain softness.
