Quick & Easy Cinnamon Cookies

These soft, buttery cinnamon cookies melt in your mouth when you eat them ..... mmm !

This is a quick and easy recipe for a deliciously soft and buttery cinnamon cookie that is crumbly and melt-in-your-mouth delicious when you eat it …... mmmmmm ! It comes from one of my Granny’s old recipe books, which was published in 1929.

Quick & Easy Cinnamon Cookies (from ‘Anyone Can Bake’, published in 1929 by ‘Standard Brands Incorporated’)

3 tbsp Butter
3 tbsp Sugar
1 Egg, beaten
6 tbsp Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
Cinnamon & Brown Sugar for dusting

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the beaten egg. Sift in the flour & baking powder. Roll into walnut sized balls, then roll the balls in a mixture of brown sugar & cinnamon and place on a lightly greased baking sheet – no need to press them down as they will spread out nicely as they bake. Bake at Gas Mark 5/190’C/375’F for around 25 minutes. Makes 18.
