Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit
- In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, soda and salt. Mix with a wire whisk.
- In a large bowl, blend sugars with an electric mixer. After doing so, add the butter, and mix to form a grainy paste. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix at a medium speed until you get a fluffy dough.
- Add the flour and blend at a low speed until all of it is evenly mixed. Do not overmix the dough. Shape the dough into balls and roll each ball in the small bowl of sugar and cinnamon. Then place it onto your cookie sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes. After taking them out of the oven, transfer the cookies to a cool surface and let them cool.
