1/2

Cup Powdered Sugar

3/4

Cup 1 1/2 Sticks Unsalted Butter

1/2

Teaspoon Salt

1 1/2

Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 1/2

Cup All Purpose Flour

1/4

Cup Granulated Sugar

1 1/2

Teaspoon Cinnamon

Large Egg White

Tablespoon Water

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla. Add the flour, stirring to make a cohesive dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll it into a 9x12 inch rectangle. Whisk egg white with water until foamy, and brush on the surface of the rolled dough.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle it evenly over the dough. Starting with the long end, roll the dough into a log, sealing the edge. Wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze until firm.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the dough from the freezer and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, gently cut it into 1/2-inch slices. Transfer them to a baking sheet.
Bake the cookies 12 to 15 minutes, until they’re a light golden brown. Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool. Drizzle with a glaze if desired.
