1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine — softened

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 350º. Beat sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl

with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in

remaining ingredients. (If dough is too soft to shape, cover and

refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.)

Shape dough by 2 tablespoonfuls into slightly flattened balls and

ropes. Arrange on ungreased cookie sheet to form animals as desired.

Use small pieces of dough for facial features if desired. Bake about 10

to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from cookie

sheet to wire rack.
