INGREDIENTS

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Colored sprinkles or sugars (optional)

PREPARATION:

  1. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add egg; beat until fluffy.
  2. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well blended. Form dough into ball; wrap in plastic wrap and flatten. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough, small portion at a time, to 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin. (Keep remaining dough wrapped in refrigerator.)
  4. Cut out dough with 3-inch cookie cutters. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles or sugars, if desired. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets.
