NORWEGIAN CINNAMON THUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To make the cookies, beat the sugar and butter together until fluffy. Add the flour and vanilla, and beat until the dough comes together.
• Take a small amount of dough (about the size of a tennis ball), and roll is gently into a long, skinny rope 1/2" in diameter (about the width of your pinky). Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2" pieces, making sure to cute on the diagonal instead of straight across.
• Place cookies a few inches apart on a lined baking sheet, and bake 8-10 minutes, until just beginning to turn golden on the bottom edges. Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool slightly.
• While cookies are cooling, combine the cinnamon and sugar for rolling in a small bowl. When cookies are cool enough to handle, roll each gently in cinnamon sugar, and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
