Chewy Cinnamon Cookies

This is a delicious recipe that my kids love, but it takes about 3 hours to make. To me, I enjoy cooking long meals. Society today has become so hectic, with everyone tossing a TV-dinner into the microwave. There's no love in that! I enjoy cooking, the longer the better.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• cinnamon sugar

Directions:

In a mixer bowl, cream together sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture.

Blend well. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or till firm enough to roll into balls. Shape dough into small balls about 3/4-inch in diameter.

Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat. Set cookies 1-inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or till the edges are lightly browned. Cool slightly on pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.
