In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir from the center outward until smooth, with no dry pockets at the bottom. Dust the work surface lightly with flour. If the dough sticks, ten minutes in the fridge firms it up better than extra flour. Amounts for this step: 1 packet of baking powder; 1 tsp cinnamon.
