Cinnamon Crisps

Cinnamon Crisps

1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon

For dusting:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine flour and cinnamon for dusting and set aside. Combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla in a large mixer bowl and beat at medium speed until creamy--about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture. Beat until mixture forms a dough--about 5 minutes. Divide dough into fourths. Shape each fourth into a roll that is about 4 inches long and around 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 375F. Cut rolls into quarter inch slices. Place one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool slightly. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for dusting. Roll the warm cookies in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Makes about 5 dozen
