Ingredients
  

  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp. salt

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Frosting

  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 4 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Beat into the dry ingredients.
  • Take a few spoonfuls of the cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside. Place the rest into a small bowl.
  • Scoop large balls of cookie dough and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place them onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten each cookie using a spatula until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake 15-17 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Make the frosting: beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
  • Fill a piping bag with frosting. Pipe frosting in a circular pattern onto the top of the cookies. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon-sugar.
