Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until no streaks of flour remain.
- Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon for the coating in a small bowl.
