Recipe View Gather all of your ingredients and equipment. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Ensure your oven rack is in the middle position. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside for coating the cookies later. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the brown sugar and the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until well combined. Add the softened butter and continue to cream until the mixture is light and grainy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is light and fluffy. (8 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in tough cookies. (4 minutes)

Recipe View Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Then, roll each ball in the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Place the coated cookie dough balls on ungreased cookie sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. (20 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (10 minutes)
