    List of Ingredients




    Nonstick canola oil spray
    1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    [spoon into a measuring cup and level the top]
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 cup sugar
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (3/4 stick)
    at room temperature
    1 large egg
    1 tablespoon light corn syrup
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons sugar -- for dipping

    Recipe



    1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt until well
    combined. Set aside.
    2. In another medium bowl, using a hand held mixer set at medium speed,
    beat the 1 cup of sugar and the butter until the mixture resembles
    breadcrumbs, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla
    and beat until smooth.
    3. 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.
    4. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375F. Lightly
    spray 2 nonstick cookie sheets with oil.
    5. 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
    rounds. Dip each round in the sugar, place the cookies sugar side up, 2
    inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
    6. 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.
