Cinnamon Stars

MAKES: 6-1/2 dozen cookies PREP TIME: 20 minutes COOK TIME: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

* 2 large eggs
* 2 sticks (1 cup) Shedd's Spread Country Crock® Spread
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
* 2 Tbsp. additional sugar, for sprinkling


DIRECTIONS

Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Separate 1 egg; set aside.

Beat Shedd's Spread Country Crock® Spread with 1 cup sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in whole egg, egg yolk and vanilla until blended. Beat in flour. Divide dough into 4 pieces and shape into disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Remove plastic wrap and roll dough 1/8-inch thick on floured surface. Cut out cookies with 2-inch star or round cookie cutter; arrange on prepared baking sheets. If dough becomes too soft, return to refrigerator to firm up. Brush tops of cookies with lightly beaten egg white, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar blended with cinnamon. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are just golden. Let stand 2 minutes; remove cookies from sheets and cool completely on wire rack.
