Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2

While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Scrape the sides, add in the eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed.

Step 4

Scrape the sides and add in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Scoop out 1/3 cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 6

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, seperate out a few tbsp worth of the cinnamon sugar and reserve it for sprinkling on top of the cookie after frosting.

Step 7

Roll and press the cinnamon and sugar onto the cookie dough. Flatten the cookie dough gently so it is in the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 8

Arrange 6 cookies per pan. Bake at 350° for 14-17 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.

Step 9

while the cookies are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping the butter until smooth.

Step 10

Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, adding a little bit of milk after each cup of powdered sugar to keep the consistency like a thick frosting.

Step 11

Once you have added all of the powdered sugar, mix in the cinnamon thoroughly.

Step 12

Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a large round piping tip or alternatively you can add the frosting to a gallon sized zip top bag, cut the corner of the bag and use it to pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral. Start in the center of the cookie and work your way out.

Step 13

Sprinkle some extra cinnamon and sugar on top- serve warm!
