Directions

For cinnamon mixture, combine both ingredients in a small bowl, set aside. For cookie dough, combine 1 cup shortening and brown sugar in large bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl. Add to creamed mixture; mix well. Turn dough onto sheet of waxed paper (or clean countertop). Spread dough into a 12x6” rectangle using a rolling pin. Sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of the cinnamon mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style into a log. Dust log with remaining cinnamon mixture. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

When ready: Spray cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Slice dough 1/4” thick and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
