Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoonsw baking soda
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Blend (using mixer) 1 cup of sugar with the softened butter and butter until creamy. Stir in (with a spoon, NOT the mixer) the egg, baking soda and vanilla. Stir in half the flour, then stir in the remaining flour a bit at a time until the mixture is uniform. Mix the remainder of the sugar with the cinnamon for your topping.
Place tablespoon-sized balls of dough on an ungreased, non-stick cookie sheet.
Take a small glass and lightly butter its bottom, then dip it in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Lightly press each ball of dough with the glass to transfer the topping. Do not completely flatten them! Try to keep them about 3/8" thick. At this size, you should get about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
Place cookie sheet on center rack of oven and bake for approximately 7 minutes. Your baking time may vary depending on your oven and how big or small you make your cookies. When the edges turn a light golden color, remove from oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes or so, then transfer them to wax paper and start your next batch.
