Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup milk

For the Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

          Shape the Bites: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between them as they will spread slightly.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

              Prepare the Icing: While the Cinnamon Bites cool, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon in a bowl. Stir until you achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency. If it’s too thick, add more milk one teaspoon at a time.

                Drizzle Icing: Once the Cinnamon Bites are cool, use a spoon to drizzle the icing generously over each bite. Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve the Cinnamon Bites fresh and enjoy them with your favorite beverage!
