Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups sifted flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, mixed with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:

Cream butter and sugar and stir in well beaten egg. Sift flour and baking powder together, blend with creamed mixture to make a soft dough. Set in refrigerator to chill. When cold, place on well floured board (or use powdered sugar), then roll out about 1/8-inch thick. Knead in more flour if needed. Cut into decorative shapes with cookie cutters. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet at 275° about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
