Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out tablespoons of dough, rolling each into a ball.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.

Step 9

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft. Do not overbake.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
