Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

  3. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until fully integrated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
