| 1/2 | ts | Salt |
| 2 | ts | Ground cinnamon |

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper, or grease them lightly with vegetable oil. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a small bowl and set aside. Combine the cinnamon with the 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Stir together thoroughly, and pour into a plastic bag. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and vanilla together in a medium-size mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 minute. Stop the mixer once during the process to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, and scrape the bowl again at the end. Add the eggs and beat on medium speed until they are blended, about 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Add half of the flour mixture, and mix on low speed for 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and blend on low for 25 seconds, stopping the mixer twice to scrape the bowl. Measure out generously rounded tablespoons of the dough, and roll them into balls with your hands. Place 2 cookies at a time in the cinnamon/sugar mix and shake the bag to coat. Then place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, and bake until the centers are risen and slightly cracked and the edges are crisp 16 to 18 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets. If you plan to snack on them the first day, place the cookies on a plate or simply leave them on the baking sheet. After that, layer the cookies in an airtight container, using plastic wrap, parchment, or waxed paper between the layers, and store the container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Bring the cookies to room temperature before eating. Makes 30 cookies. Formatted for MC by Nancy 9/98 Recipe by: Rosie's Bakery Cookie Book from the Monthly Recipe Swap, converted by MM_Buster v2.0n.
