Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Form rounded tablespoon and roll in Cinnamon/Sugar mixture then move onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten out slightly with the bottom of a buttered glass. *Mixture may need to be refrigerated for about 10 minutes in order to handle with Cinnamon/Sugar mixture.
