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

Add 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
