1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
