Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

In a small bowl, combine the ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon for rolling.

Scoop out dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll into balls, and then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
