Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl. In a separate bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract and combine with the creamed butter, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Now add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream and mix to combine thoroughly. Bring the mixture together as a dough then wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate until firm enough to roll (about 40 minutes).
Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll out to about 6mm thick. Cut out rounds with an 8cm diameter pastry cutter and transfer onto lightly-greased baking trays. Place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
