Cinnamon Cookies


They were really easy, ready in no time & everyone just loved them

Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract/essence
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour/maida

To Roll
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method
Preheat oven to 180 C & grease cookie sheets or line a baking tray with foil & grease it.
In a bowl, cream together powdered sugar & butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
Combine flour, salt, & cinnamon and add to creamed mixture.
Combine remaining powdered sugar & cinnamon & keep aside.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls with hands and roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
One batch makes 20-25 cookies.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on wire racks.

Tips
* Do not decrease the amount of butter, it is needed to bind the dough.
* You can use brown sugar in place of white.
* I used maida instead of all purpose flour.
* Either use white butter without salt or if using salted butter, avoid adding salt. I used salted butter so omitted salt in the recipe.
