Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper OR silicone mats.
In large mixing bowl, mix butter, brown and white sugars together until creamy. Mix in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Add flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and stir until well mixed.

Drop a heaping tablespoon of dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between cookie drop.
Bake for 11-12 minutes or until cookies start to brown around the edges. Cookies will still be soft and thick.
