Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.

In your mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together for about 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

In a small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until evenly blended.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and immediately roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar coating until fully covered.

Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets and bake for 11 to 12 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
