3 tablespoons (For cinnamon sugar topping)
Ground Cinnamon
1 tablespoon (For cinnamon sugar topping)
All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 cups (Sifted)
Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon (Sifted with flour)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (Sifted with flour)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare your baking sheets by leaving them ungreased.
2
In a small bowl, mix together the white sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use as a topping.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended. Set this dry mixture aside as well.
4
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the dark brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Next, add the softened salted butter and mix until it forms a grainy paste.
5
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and then add the large eggs and pure vanilla extract. Continue mixing on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar ingredients, mixing on low speed just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
7
Using your hands, shape the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar topping until fully coated.
8
Place the coated cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least 2 inches apart.
9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Remove them from the oven and quickly transfer the cookies to a cooling rack or a cool, flat surface using a spatula.
