Preparation

Step 1

Cinnamon Sugar Cookies:
With electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add egg; mix well. Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to creamed mixture. Mix until well combined. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375°. Working with 1/2 of dough at a time, on lightly floured surface roll to 1/4″ thick. Cut with cookie cutter, place on ungreased cookie sheet or Silpat lined sheet. Bake 8 minutes, pull out before edges start to turn golden. Cool completely before frosting.

Cinnamon Honey Buttercream Frosting:
Whip butter with electric mixer until light and creamy. Add powdered sugar, honey, and milk; whip until frosting is a creamy spreading consistency. Frost each cookie and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and sugar crystals. Makes about 2½ dozen 2½” diameter round cookies or 16-4″ diameter round cookies.
