These cookies are scrumptious! I love a good ol sugar cookie...with added extras!

Oh yes...this stuff is said to be the best vanilla extract.=) At least that is what my brother told me~ the lady at Williams & Sonoma told him that.=) Thanks Michael...

Having fun with the camera!=)

This is the book the recipes came out of...thanks bro!!=)

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

(Makes 36 cookies)

Preheat oven 350 F. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat until well blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until the eggs are completely mixed in. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until blended.

In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Scoop up a rounded tablespoonful of the dough, then roll the dough into ball. Lightly roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat it completely, and place on cookie sheet. Bake until cookies edges are slightly brown, but tops are barely colored, 10-12 min.

Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 5 min. then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
