Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. I used parchment paper instead.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture to form a stiff dough. Chill 1 hour. Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; roll balls in cinnamon mixture.
  4. ** HEB suggested cooking the cookies then rolling in mixture. They also used whole wheat flour; I did not.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in preheated oven, or until nicely browned. Cool cookies on wire racks.
