Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, Greek yogurt, and 0.75 cup of granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
