Cinnamon Sugar Cookies



Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg ( beaten)
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- (Sugar Mixture)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Mix flour with baking powder, salt and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. In another bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Stir in 1/3 of the flour, then add milk and the remaining flour, mixing between each addition. Don't add more flour, it will make a soft dough that won't be sticky after it is chilled. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for a couple of hours until thoroughly chilled. Take tablespoons of dough and gently shape into balls. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon/sugar mix and then flatten and place on a greased cookie sheet (the insulated cookie sheets are best...makes perfectly browned bottoms...no burning) and bake at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. The cookies should be delicately browned. NOTES : These are soft light little tea cakes, very tasty.
