2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. softened butter
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add flour mixture. Blend well until mixture is stiff.

Chill for 30 minutes. Form a small ball of mixture, roll in sugar/cinnamon. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Dip bottom of a glass in a dish of water, then flatten cookie mixture with it.

Bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes (watch carefully). Cool on sheets for about 3 minutes, then cool on cookie racks.
