  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃/ 356℉ at gas mark 4.
  2. Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper/ greaseproof paper.
  3. Mix 2 tablespoons/ 25 gr caster sugar with the cinnamon powder in a shallow bowl or a plate. Set aside.
  4. Mix all-purpose flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl, and set aside.
  5. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy and light in color. You can use a hand whisk, a wooden spoon, or a handheld mixer. 
  6. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture.
  7. Then fold in the flour mixture and stir well until all is combined, and you get a smooth mixture.
  8. Take a small size of dough and shape it into a small ball. Mine is about a 1-inch diameter-sized ball.
  9. Roll the dough ball onto the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it is fully covered with the sugar spice mix.
  10. Place the ball onto a lined baking sheet. Repeat until the dough is finished. Make sure you leave enough space between the dough balls, 
  11. Bake the cookie dough balls for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Leave them on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them onto a cooling rack.

Notes

  • If you want to bake the cookie dough later, you can make it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours. When you are ready to bake, you can take it out of the refrigerator, shape it into small balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
