2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating well to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size.
7. Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
