Fluff Top Cookies
This recipe was given to me from my ex-mother-in-law. I hate to call her that because she was my mother in-law for almost 30 years. This was a family favorite and tradition for the holidays. If you didn't make fluff tops as they were called by the family it just was not Christmas. These cookies are crisp and light with a bite of cinnamon. You can decorate the tops any way you want. The only draw back I know for this cookie is how to store them. They crush easily. Don't wait until the holidays to make these cookies they are great anytime of the year. So I would like to thank you Anne for your delightful recipe, and I miss and love you dearly.
Fluff Top Cookies
1/2 lb Margarine or Butter (2 sticks)
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg Yolk (Save the white)
2 Cups Flour
1 1/2tsp Cinnamon
1 0r 2 Egg Whites (set aside)
Mix all ingredients except the egg whites. Roll dough into walnut size balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with a glass. If dough sticks to glass you can dip bottom of glass in either flour or sugar. Take egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork until light and fluffy. Top each cookie with a small amount of whipped egg white. Sprinkle with colored sugar for holidays or white sugar for any other time of year.
Bake 300 degrees about 10 minutes....watch closely, they should be slightly browned both on top and bottom.
These are great served with tea or coffee. Try them and let me know what you think!
