I was given some really neat cookie cutters for Christmas this year! Better late then never I thought I would try them out. I found a delicious recipe for a sugar cookie with a cinnamon kick. You could make these cookies in any shape, stars, hearts or in this case a moose. This has to be one of my favourite cookie cutters I have ever used. However, if you choose to use a cookie cutter like a moose you must keep in mind that you wont make as many cookies as the recipe estimates because the size of the cutter. With every sugar cookie it is important to chill the dough, this recipe is no different. Chilling the batter will make it easier to cut the shapes from the dough. Get creative with decorating the cookies, icing and sprinkles are super fun and add a colourful touch!

3/4 Cup Unsalted Butter (Room Temp)
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 1/4 Cup Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1. Beat butter for a minute by itself. Slowly, add in sugar mixing until fluffy and light.
And add in eggs and vanilla extract.
2. In a separate bowl combine, the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Then go in with your hands and combine all ingredients.
3. Roll dough into two separate balls wrap with plastic wrap and store in fridge for two hours or over night.
4. Roll dough out on to a floured surface. Kneed the dough until soft. Now you can begin cutting out your shapes!
5. Put cookies on a greased cookie sheet and place in a oven preheated to 350 for 5-10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
6. If you choose to decorate your cookies be sure that they are completely cooled before you begin.
