Jamey Tucker and Heather Longhurst, the hero and heroine of SANTA TO THE RESCUE, baked Mexican Cinnamon Cookies for a Christmas party hosted by one of Heather’s co-workers; another pediatric nurse at County Hospital. Heather wanted to prove to Jamey that chocolate chip cookies weren’t the only cookies worth serving at Christmastime. She hopes you agree these cinnamon cookies are a delicious addition to your holiday table.

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 large egg 1 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsps. Mexican Cinnamon 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt Cinnamon Sugar (1/2 cup sugar + 2 tsp. cinnamon)
To Make:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and blend well. Cover the dough and refrigerate about an hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls. When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Shape the dough into small balls just less than an inch in size. Roll in cinnamon and sugar mix to coat. Set cookies 1 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly on the pan and then remove to rack to cool completely.
