#1111 - Cinnamon Jumble Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 TBSP cinnamon
1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
extra white sugar for dipping

In a mixer add butter, 1 cup white sugar--beat. Add eggs--beat. Add vanilla--beat until creamy. Add salt and cinnamon--beat. Add flour slowly--beat. Remove bowl from mixer and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove mixer bowl from refrigerator. Use your hands and roll dough into walnut sized balls. Place some extra white sugar in a bowl--roll dough balls one at a time in the sugar, then place sugar coated dough balls on greased cookie sheets. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press down each cookie so that they are about 1/4" high after flattening (if the glass is sticking to the cookies you can spray it with Pam). Repeat with all cookies. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
