Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. Step 4

    Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

  5. Step 5

    Bake until edges are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
