- 2 sticks unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer and whip the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add ½ cup of the powdered sugar and whip on high until light and fluffy again.
- Add the vanilla and salt and with the hand mixer on low, combine just until blended.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flour and cinnamon.
- Add to the butter mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are just golden on the bottom.
- Remove them to cool on wire racks for about 5 minutes.
