Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
- Optionally, fold in the extra cinnamon and sugar into the dough.
Baking
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- If desired, roll each ball in a blend of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
For a vegan version, use coconut oil instead of butter and flaxseed meal combined with water instead of eggs. For added texture, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
