Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 120 grams powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 60 grams powdered sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The cookies should remain pale on top.

Step 8

While the cookies are baking, combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet, then gently roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they are still warm.

Step 10

Transfer the coated cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

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