01:54 In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

03:08 Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes (or up to 24 hours).

03:27 Scoop dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
03:52 Bake in 350F (175C) oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
