# Instrucciones:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer or whisk until creamy and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
04 - Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
05 - Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough forms. Avoid over-mixing.
06 - In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon until evenly blended.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
08 - Place dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing approximately 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball with your palm to achieve a ‘silly’ cookie shape.
09 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11 - Drizzle cooled cookies with melted milk or dark chocolate if desired for added flavor.
