1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
-
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for the swirl)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the swirl)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream (or yogurt) to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
-
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
-
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Gently press down each ball with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
