Cinnamon Footballs Recipe
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
24 whole blanched almonds
DECORATING GLAZE
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons water (1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons)
Heat oven to 350º. Beat brown sugar, butter and vanilla in large bowl
with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour,
cinnamon and salt until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in
1 to 2 tablespoons milk.)
Shape dough by scant tablespoonfuls around almonds to form football
shapes. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12
to 14 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet to
wire rack. Cool completely. Place Decorating Glaze in decorating bag
with #3 writing tip. Pipe glaze on cookies to resemble football laces.
DECORATING GLAZE:
Mix powdered sugar and water just enough to make a paste that can
be piped from decorating bag.
