SUGAR STICKS

SUGAR STICKS 1/2 cup soft butter 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs (1 separated) 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour 1 Tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup milk Blue and White or Red and White Decorator Sugars Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with nonstick spray and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, shortening, and sugar. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add 1 egg and 1 egg yolk to the mixture (reserve 1 egg white in a small bowl for the topping). Beat until well mixed, making sure to scrape sides of bowl often. Reduce speed to low and add flour, cinnamon and milk. Beat just until mixture forms a dough. Using fingers, pat dough into prepared pan. Beat the reserved egg white with a fork until frothy. Using a pastry brush, brush egg white evenly over dough. Immediately sprinkle generously with decorator sugars. Bake 18-20 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Remove from oven and with a sharp edge, immediately cut into 44 sticks (4 rows by 11 rows). Cool completely, then remove from pan.
