1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

100 g powdered sugar (for coating)

3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine.
4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

7. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll in powdered sugar.
8. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
9. Cookies should look cracked on top and slightly soft in the center.
