| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). |
| 2 | In a very large mixing bowl, cream together the eggs, white sugar, and oil until well combined. |
| 3 | Add buttermilk, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. |
| 4 | Gradually beat in the all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth. Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes after adding all the flour. |
| 5 | Using a 1/4 cup measurement, scoop the batter onto a greased cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie. |
| 6 | Sprinkle the tops of the cookies generously with cinnamon sugar. |
| 7 | Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and avoid overbaking. |
| 8 | To check for doneness, lightly touch the center of a cookie; if it springs back, it’s ready. |
