1 c Butter softened 2/3 c Powdered sugar 1 ts Pure vanilla extract 2 c All purpose flour unsifted 2 ts Ground cinnamon 1/4 ts Baking powder 1/4 ts Salt 1 c Semisweet/milk chocolate -morsels
In a large mixing bowl with electric mixer set at high speed, beat butter
until smooth; gradually add sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in
vanilla. In a medium bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add to butter mixture, beating until just combined; cover bowl. Chill dough
until firm but not hard, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls using 1 tablespoon dough for each. Place on
ungreased cookie sheets 2 1/2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a floured
glass, press each ball into a 2 inch circle. Bake until just golden around
the edge, about 6 minutes. Do not over bake. Remove from baking sheets to a
wire rack; cool completely. In a small saucepan over very low heat melt
chocolate morsels, stirring constantly. Frost half of each cookie using a
small spatula. Place on a rack to set. Refrigerate in a tightly covered
container.
