Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¾ cups flour *see notes
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cups unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • optional turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • Use 1 ½ tbsp. for each scoop of cookie dough to form balls. Space balls 2" apart on either a pizza stone or cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let sit on stone/pan for a minute before transferring to cooling rack The cookies might seem super soft still but they will harden up some as they cool. This is why I recommend letting them sit for a minute before moving so they don't fall apart.
  • Store in the fridge for 4-5 days max or freeze for a later date.

Notes

* I have used all different flours with success: white, white wheat, whole wheat, and ½ wheat-½ white
