Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine 3 tablespoons white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Blend brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed. Add butter and blend until grainy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to butter-sugar mixture, mixing at low speed just long enough to combine. Overmixing makes tough cookies.

Step 5

Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball into cinnamon sugar to coat. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from sheets and let cool on racks.
