1 c Brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt

1 3/4 c Flour, sifted
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Cinnamon

-slightly beaten
1 tb Butter, melted

1/2 ts Vanilla
Food coloring
-(optional)

Mix sugar, salt and butter thoroughly. Add egg and
vanilla and beat till fluffy.

Sift flour, baking powder, soda and cinnamon and add
to mixture. Chill well, several hours, or overnight.

MAKE THE GLAZE: Mix the glaze ingredients together

sheet for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool and
glaze.

NOTES:

* Rolled cookies for the Christmas holidays -- I
almost never make these cookies except at Christmas
time. They just seem to be Christmas cookies.
(I did make a batch of heart shaped ones last
Valentine's day for my then-fiance.) I usually make
these cookies in Christmas shapes and frost them with
green and red frosting. This is a good recipe for
kids to help out with.

* It helps to keep most of the dough in the
refrigerator while you are cutting shapes. It cuts
much better when it is cold.

* These are time-consuming and fairly difficult, but
worth it.

: Difficulty: moderate.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, overnight chill, 1
hour cutting and baking.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.
