- 2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking soda

- Use a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop and scoop the dough onto the baking sheets. Space the dough about 2 to 3 inches apart.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, longer if possible. While the dough is in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes. They’re done when the edges are brown, and the centers appear just barely underdone.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They’ll finish setting while they’re on the hot baking sheet.
