| All-purpose flour | 2 ¾ cups |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |

Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. This dry mixture will help to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spice throughout the cookies.

- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined. This will contribute to the moisture and flavor of the cookies.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to guarantee the cookies remain tender.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm for an even bake.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
