Rolled Cinnamon-Sugar Angels
This tender cinnamon dough deserves its celestial shape, but works fine with whatever cutters you have on hand.
How to Make It
Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beating well. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Shape dough into a ball. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
Roll dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a 3" angel-shaped cookie cutter, and gently transfer to lightly greased cookie sheets (dough is fragile). Bake at 375° for 6 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Place frosting in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, at HIGH 45 seconds or just until pourable; spoon frosting on top of cookies. Let stand on wire racks until dry.
