#630 - Drop Sand Tart Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup melted butter (no substitutes)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

In a mixer add white sugar and melted butter--beat. Add eggs--beat. Add baking soda--beat. Add flour slowly--beat. Let batter stand in the bowl for 10 minutes. Remove bowl from mixer and stir with a wooden spoon. Drop by 1/2 teaspoonsfuls (NO MORE--use a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to make sure) on to UNGREASED cookie sheets. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the top of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Let cookies stand 30 seconds, then use a metal spatula to transfer them to paper towels. They are very thin, crisp cookies.
