In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well until fully combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
