Cinnamon Cookies

By tschnet1

These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. They make up easily, and they disappear fast. I make these every year when we put up our Christmas Tree. I serve them with hot Cocoa while we decorate our tree. I swear the cookies are anticipated as much as the tree!

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• cinnamon sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixer bowl, cream together sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla.

Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.

Add to butter mixture.

Blend well.

Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or till firm enough to roll into balls.

Shape dough into small balls about 3/4-inch in diameter.

Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.

Set cookies 1-inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or till the edges are lightly browned.

Cool slightly on pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.
