01
Step 1
Start by mixing the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and use your hands or a spoon to bring everything together into a smooth dough.

Step 2
Divide the dough into four pieces and shape each into a flat round about an inch thick. Wrap them in plastic and pop them in the fridge for an hour to chill. When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 3
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one piece of dough at a time to about a quarter-inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then transfer the cookies to the baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges just start to turn golden. Let them cool on a wire rack before decorating however you like.
