Description

Directions

• In a large bowl, beat oleo with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the oleo mixture. Divide dough in half.* Shape each portion of dough into a 12-inch-long roll (about 1-1/2 inches in diameter). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 3 to 4 hours or until dough is firm enough to slice. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush chilled logs with beaten egg white, then roll in colored sugar or nonpareils to coat.** Cut rolls into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. Makes about 64 cookies.
