In a small bowl, sift together the almond flour, arrowroot flour/starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the coconut sugar and cane sugar. Beat the ingredients on medium speed until creamy and well blended.

Add the vanilla extract and the room temperature egg to the sugar-butter mixture. Beat on low speed until fully incorporated.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in batches. Beat on low speed until the dough is smooth and well combined.

Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a cookie scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in sparkling cane sugar if desired and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1–2 inches apart.
