Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
Cream butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add dry ingredients in 3 to 4 batches, mixing well between additions.
Combine white sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet and press down lightly on each with the bottom of a drinking glass to flatten slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

Chef Tips

If you cannot find whole wheat pastry flour then substitute half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour. Swapping in whole wheat flour only is not a good idea as it will result in a drier and grittier cookie.
