How to Make Cinnamon Cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the cinnamon chips.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
