Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl mix the 1/4 cup white sugar with 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Using a mixer cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Make sure to the scrape the sides of the bowl several times during this mixing.
1 cup butter, 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Once the sugar and butter mixture is fluffy, add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
1 large egg, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls.
Now it's time to roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mix. Dump the cinnamon sugar mixture that you made already onto a large dinner plate, then roll the balls in it on there.
1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Place the dough balls on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart, and flatten the tops slightly.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes (the edges should be only slightly golden).
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
