Ingredients

For Dough

1 ⅓ cups flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup butter, unsalted, room temperature
½ cup white granulated sugar
1 egg, large
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Rolling

1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar

For Frosting

3 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
5 Tablespoons butter, unsalted, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar together, beating until you have a fluffy mixture.
Add the egg and vanilla. Beat together until fully mixed and smooth.
Stir in the dry ingredients until mixed well.
Scoop the mixture into 1 tablespoon balls.
Make the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining the cinnamon and sugar.
Roll and coat each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar.
Place cookies on baking sheets with 2 inches of space between them.
Flatten the cookies to discs about ⅓ inch thick.
Bake in a 350ºF oven for 10-12 minutes until they’re set.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
As the cookies cool, combine the icing ingredients and beat until smooth.
To ice the cooled cookies, use a piping bag to make swirls. Or, spread it on with an icing knife or spatula. Sprinkle the finished cookies with cinnamon if desired.

Notes

An easy way to flatten your cookies is by placing a piece of parchment paper over them. Then lay another cookie sheet over them and use it to press all the cookies to the same thickness.
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for mixing the cookies and making the icing.
Save time while rolling the dough in cinnamon-sugar. Put the cinnamon-sugar in a container wide enough to hold 3-4 balls at a time. Place 3-4 inside and gently shake the container back and forth until they’re all coated.
