Beat the butter with a mixer until creamy. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs one by one. Sift the flour with the baking powder and sugar, and while continuing to mix, add it to the butter mixture until obtaining a smooth and soft dough. Form balls with your hands and place them on baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, and when you take them out of the oven, roll them in sugar and cinnamon.
