In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar till fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture 1/2 C at a time mixing very well. Then add in the crushed cinnamon hearts.
Place the powdered sugar on a plate. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball and coat in powdered sugar, place on cookie sheet leaving about 2" apart. They will spread out.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Cookies will not brown and may not look cooked but they will harden as they cool. Let them rest 5 minutes. (optional - add more hearts at this point - lightly pressing) Then transfer to a cooling rack. Do not let them completely cool on the baking sheet, they stick pretty bad.
