Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter until combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix to form a dough.
  3. Step 3: Shape dough into a log about 10 inches long on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until firm to touch.
