Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
¼ cup light brown sugar packed
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg room temperature
½ teaspoons almond extract or vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon and baking powder.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or using an electric mixer and a small bowl, add the cooled butter and sugars. On medium speed, beat to combine.
Add in the egg and beat to combine. Add the almond extract.
Add the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing on low speed in between until fully combined.
Roll the dough into 1" balls using a cookie scoop and place about 2" apart on a prepared baking sheet or a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
Gently press the dough balls down just a little and bake at 325 degrees F for about 9-10 minutes.
Remove from oven, they will be WAY too soft to move. Gently press the cookies down with a fork or a spoon to create an actual cookie shape.
Cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes and then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
