We used huge cookie cutters from Williams-Sonoma, but make these in any shape, for any holiday.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Combine white sugar, and cinnamon in bowl and set aside.
Blend dark brown sugar and sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed.
Add butter and blend until grainy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl. Add sugar mixture, mixing at low speed just long enough to combine.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball into cinnamon-sugar to coat.
Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove from sheets and let cool on racks.
