Cinnamon Cookies
Ingredients
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
Place first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 5 minutes). Add egg whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through cinnamon), stirring well with a whisk. Add to butter mixture; beat well. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion to a 1/8-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Freeze dough 20 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.
Working with 1 portion of dough at a time (keep remaining dough in freezer), remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough with a 2-inch round cookie cutter; place cookies on baking sheets. Discard bottom sheet of plastic wrap. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
Bake at 375° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon; drizzle mixture over cookies. Sprinkle with almonds.
Yield: 4 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)

Someone asked me for this recipe today, apparently I made them last year and they were really good (I don't recall that but OK ) This came from Cooking Light magazine a few years ago and makes a awesome cookie.. though I've never been able to get 4 dozen from it so the calorie count is a bit off..
they're easy to make and really a crowd pleaser..
