Directions:

1. Heat the butter:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

4. Add Dry Ingredients:
1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Chill the Dough:
1. Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so it solidifies.
6. Shape the Cookies:
1. After it has cooled, take tablespoon-sized pieces from the dough and roll them into balls.
2. Dip each dough ball into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
7. Cooking:
