Preparation
Step 1
1) sift together flour, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2) cream together 2/3 c. sugar and butter. beat in 1 egg, 1 egg yolk and vanilla. add in dry ingredients.
3) line baking sheet with parchment paper. divide dough in half and make 2 logs; approximately 2x9" the dough is sticky, i spray my hands with pam :) brush each log with beaten egg
4) bake at 325 for 30 minutes, they are starting to turn brown and harden. let them cool at least 15 minutes. cut into 1/2" slices
5) dip each slice into the separate cinnamon and sugar mixture. put slices back on baking sheet , sprinkle with a little more cinnamon and sugar and bake 15-20 minutes more. the longer they bake, the harder they will be.
