  • 9. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking to fully incorporate, then add the vanilla and mix again
  • 10. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and fold together until homogenous
  • 11. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon in a very small bowl. Mix together completely
  • 12. Roll the dough into 1/8 cup-sized balls and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture
