Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add in the egg and mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

6. Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the greased baking sheet.

7. Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to flatten it slightly.

8. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

9. Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Optional: For an extra cinnamon kick, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the cooled cookies in the mixture to coat them.
