Snickerdoodles

Ingredients:
150g butter
1 cup of castor sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cups self-raising or plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
cinnamon sugar for coating

Cinnamon sugar:
3/4 cup of castor sugar
1 heaped tablespoon of ground cinnamon mixed thoroughly together.

Method:
Cream the butter and sugar until soft and smooth, add egg and mix well. Add flour. Take walnut-size spoons of mixture and roll in the cinnamon sugar until heavily coated. Arrange on an oven tray and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake at 220 degrees Celsius for approximately 10-12 minutes or until they turn light brown around the edges. Carefully place on a cooling tray and allow to turn crisp and cool. Store in an air-tight container.
