Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Nonstick canola oil spray
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- spoon & level
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- room temp (3/4 stick)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar for dipping
For Spicy Cinnamon Cookies
1 teaspoon cinnamon -- optional
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon -- optional
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves -- optional
1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
2. In another large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula to force the mixture into the blades, beat the 1 cup of sugar and the butter until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs, about 1-1/2 minutes. Add the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Using a spoon, gradually stir in the flour mixture. Transfer the dough to a sheet of waxed paper and form it into a log about 12 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Wrap the log of dough in the waxed paper and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 F. Lightly spray 2 nonstick cookie sheets (preferably insulated) with oil (or use baker's parchment).
4. Unwrap the chilled dough. Place the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut the dough crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Dip each round in the sugar, and place the cookies, sugar side up, 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
5. One sheet at a time, bake the cookies until lightly browned around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. The centers may seem slightly underdone, but they will firm when cooled. Cool the cookies in the pan for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire cake rack to cool completely.
Spicy Cinnamon Cookies: Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Stir 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves into the 2 tablespoons of sugar for dipping.

NOTES : These cookies were wonderful. They had the same "mouth feel" as regular sugar cookies. I made the recipe this afternoon and they're all gone. They didn't even have time to cool off. Next time I will reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup. The cookies were sweet and I'd like them to be a little less so (personal preference). I didn't dip them in sugar before baking. I used nonstick "Echo Baker's Secret" pans. On the first pan I sprayed Pam so the cookies wouldn't stick - they didn't. On the second pan I used parchment paper. I prefer the parchment paper, there is less mess and it works beautifully. I baked the cookies for 7 minutes. I think you would need to bake them for 10 minutes on an insulated pan. This is an easy recipe and I will be making them again soon.
Enjoy,
