# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract until fully combined.
05 -
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
06 -
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
07 -
Portion dough into 3.5 cm balls. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar coating to cover evenly.
08 -
Place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 5 cm apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers appear soft.
09 -
Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Additional Notes:

Avoid overbaking to maintain soft centers; cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
