Chewy Cinnamon Cookies

By David J. Stewart

       This is a delicious recipe that my kids love, but it takes about 3 hours to make.  To me, I enjoy cooking long meals.  Society today has become so hectic, with everyone tossing a TV-dinner into the microwave.  There's no love in that!  I enjoy cooking, the longer the better. 

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

Directions

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.
