notes: used salted butter (not land o lakes), baked for 10 min, let rest on sheet for 3-5 before plunging in the cinn sugar, makes about 40

Ingredients:

1 c. salted butter, softened

1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, until light and fluffy.

2. Add flour and mix in on low speed, until just combined/dough is formed.

3. Divide dough in four equal parts. Shape each part into a 4" log with 1 1/2" diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

4. Heat oven to 375°F.

5. Slice logs into 1/4" slices using sharp knife. Place slices on baking sheet, spacing 1" apart. Bake for 7-9 min, or until lightly browned at edges.

6. Let rest on baking sheet for 3-5 min. Meanwhile, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

7. While still warm (just after the 3-5 min resting period), gently toss the cookies in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat. Place on rack to finish cooling completely. Enjoy!
