For The Cookies:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs

For The Frosting:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 4-6 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
