Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet batter, mixing on low until just combined.
  6. Portion out the dough, roll into balls, and coat in granulated sugar.
  7. Place coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
