Country Crock Recipes

Cinnamon Stars

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.
