Recipe - Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

2 One half cup Flour
One half cup Butter
2 One half teaspoon Baking powder
Three fourths cup Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 Egg; beaten
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
One half cup Buttermilk
Sugar Mixture
One half cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

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.
