Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon listed for sprinkling.
Step 8
Lightly sprinkle the tops of the cookie discs with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 9
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly undercooked.
Step 11
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
