This Cookie makes Breakfast Better then ever!!

Cinnamon "S" Cookies

We all know that there is a big company that makes the "S" cookie that you will find on your grocers shelves. But once you have eaten one of these you will never buy a another package of "S" cookies again. These are packed with flavor and are so perfect with that first (or fourth) cup of latte in the morning ( or afternoon or evening).

1/4 pound of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder


In a shallow bowl combine and set aside:
2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Yield: about 26 cookies

In an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar until light and creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla (if using) and mix until blended.

On low speed, gradually add the flour and baking powder. Mix until just blended to form a soft dough.

On a lightly floured bread board, pinch pieces from the ball of dough, and roll the dough into ropes that are pencil thin and about 4 1/2 to 5 inches long.

Roll the dough strips into the cinnamon/sugar mix that you made earlier.

Form the strips into the "S" shape and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Be sure to space them at least 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 to 15 mins, or until the edges start to brown.

Remove from the oven and using a metal spatula, remove the cookies and place on a wire cooling rack.

Cool completely. Store in an air tight container.

This cookie is one of my all time favorites and I can never pass them by without eating one or two, even without the coffee. Of course the big pleasure treat is sitting down with that favorite cup of latte and just indulge to your hearts content. I know I do!
Enjoy, Bella!!
