  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing gently on low speed until just combined.
  3. Gradually sift in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, mixing on low speed until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 1.5 hours.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each portion into a smooth ball, spacing them 2 inches apart on the sheet.
