- 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2/3 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar mixed with
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
In a large bowl mash together the margarine
and sugar. Add the egg and beat until
everything is creamy. Add the baking powder,
salt and flour. Stir it up until you have a
nice thick dough. In a cereal bowl, combine
the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar.
Now comes the fun part; let the kids help.
Make sure everyone's hands are clean and
then shape the dough into balls the size of
a walnut, or an egg yolk. Roll them in the
cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the coated
balls on an oiled cookie sheet. Using the
bottom of a smooth cup or glass, press the
dough down to flatten the cookies slightly.
Bake them at 400° for 10 minutes. If your
oven runs hot, turn it down to 375°. These
cookies are great in lunch boxes and for
after school snacks. These are an old
favorite of mine. My momma made them for us
as children, and they are exceptionally
good.
