SPICED SUGAR CRISPS

Category: Cookies

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 to 3 tbsp milk

Heat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and egg until smooth. On low speed, beat in flour, salt, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Gently press bottom of drinking glass onto dough to grease, then press into sugar and onto dough balls to flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown and centers of cookies are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 10 minutes.

In small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and enough of the milk until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies.
