Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together 1 cup of softened butter and ½ cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Blend in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon until a smooth dough forms.

Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form 1-inch balls of dough. Arrange on a lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers stay soft. Let them rest on the sheet for 5 minutes.

Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine ½ cup of powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll each cookie in the mixture until fully coated.

Serve on a festive plate or store in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to a week.
