With a Kitchen Aid or an electric mixer cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy- about 2-4 minutes. Slowly add one egg at a time and continue to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix on low and slowly add the flour mixture until dough starts to form. For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating To make the sugar-cinnamon coating, mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. To Roll The Cookies Using a mini ice-cream scoop, scoop out cookie dough balls roll each ball into your hands to make it an even ball. Then roll each dough ball into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Thoroughly coat each ball. Place the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least an hour to harden. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, 2 ½ inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until just barley golden around the edges. Cool for several minutes on the baking sheets before moving to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
