How to Make Cinnamon Spice Cookies
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add the egg yolk and blend well.
- Sift flour, salt and cinnamon together. Add to creamed mixture and blend well. Stir in extract and nuts.
- Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving 2" between cookies. Flatten each one slightly. Press a fork, dipped in flour, in a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks for cooling. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar and evaporated milk until smooth and creamy. Add extracts and cinnamon. Mix well. Spread a small amount over the top of each cookie.
