Instructions
Directions:

Next, add in the 2 eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt. Mix this together until smooth.
-
Then, add in the (1 tsp) ground cinnamon.
-
Next, add in the flour, ½ cup at a time.

For the topping, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon together in a small bowl. Whisk this together for about 1 minutes.

Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon and sugar topping, then place it in on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, with the palm of your hand, lightly flatten them down just a little.
-
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they edges start to turn golden brown. Rotate the pan half-way through the cooking time to allow even cooking.

Allow them to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate.
