Cinnamon Crispies

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups sugar
1 package active dry yeast 3 teaspoons cinnamon
¾ cup water 6 tablespoons finely chopped nuts, if desired
½ cup margarine or butter

Directions:
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 2
tablespoons sugar, salt and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat water and ½ cup
margarine until very warm (120-130ºF). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at
low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 1 - 1 ½ cups
flour to make a stiff dough. Cover tightly; chill 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle. Turn
dough onto lightly floured surface. Roll to 18 x 10-inch rectangle; spread with 2 tablespoons
margarine. Combine 1 ½ cups sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle ½ cup of mixture over dough.
Starting with 18-inch side, roll up tightly, pressing edges to seal. Cut into 18 1-inch slices.
On cookie sheet or large sheet of foil, spread remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place slices,
one at a time, on mixture; roll each to 5-inch circle, turning once. Place crispies on ungreased
cookie sheets. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon nuts, if desired; press in gently. Heat oven to
400º. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets immediately;
cool completely. Makes 18 crispies. If crispier product is desired, place crispies on greased
cookie sheets.
