1 cup granulated sugar,
1 tsp. ground cinnamon,

1 slightly beaten egg,
1/4 cup milk,

Tblsp. milk,
Red cinnamon candies,

In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cut in butter till pieces are the size of small peas.
Make a well in the center. Combine the egg and the 1/4 cup milk; add all at once to dry mixture. Stir till moistened. On a lightly floured surface, roll
dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch circles or flowers with cookie cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in 375 oven for 8 - 10 minutes or till light brown on the bottom. Cool on wire rack.
Place about 1/2 tsp. raspberry jam on the bottom of 1 round, top with another round. Repeat with remaining cookies.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a glazing consistency. Spread top of each cookie with some of the glaze. For holly berries, while icing is still wet, drop 2 or 3
cinnamon candies on each cookie. Allow icing to dry. Using a small paintbrush, paint several holly leaves and a stem on each cookie with the green food coloring.
Makes about 3 dozen.
