Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1-2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides, add in the eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed.
- Scrape the sides and add in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop out 1/3 cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, seperate out a few tbsp worth of the cinnamon sugar and reserve it for sprinkling on top of the cookie after frosting.
- Roll and press the cinnamon and sugar onto the cookie dough. Flatten the cookie dough gently so it is in the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Arrange 6 cookies per pan. Bake at 350° for 14-17 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
- while the cookies are cooling, make the frosting, by whipping the butter until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, adding a little bit of milk after each cup of powdered sugar to keep the consistency like a thick frosting.
- Once you have added all of the powdered sugar, mix in the cinnamon thoroughly.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a large round piping tip or alternatively you can add the frosting to a gallon sized zip top bag, cut the corner of the bag and use it to pipe the frosting onto the warm cookies in a spiral. Start in the center of the cookie and work your way out.
- Sprinkle some extra cinnamon and sugar on top- serve warm!
