I haven't posted in awhile because of my hectic year-end work schedule, but I was able to do quite a bit of holiday cookie baking. I had a cookie exchange at work and I brought in several different types of cookies. Therefore, my next three posts for today will be the holiday cookies that I tried. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Colored sprinkles or sugars (optional)
Directions:
Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add egg; beat until fluffy.
Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well blended. Form dough into ball; wrap in plastic wrap and flatter. Refrigerated about 2 hours or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350. Roll out dough, small portion at a time, to a 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin. (Keep remaining dough wrapped in refrigerator)
Cut out dough with 3-inch cookie cutters. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles or sugars, if desired. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets 1 minute; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
