What you'll need:
Some fun Texas Cookie Cutters, the shape of Texas, Cactus, Coyotes, Jalapeños ....etc.
Sheet Pans lined with Parchment Paper.
1/4 C Sugar
1 TBS Cinnamon
1 Stick (8 TBS) Butter, softened
3/4 C Granulated Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla
1 2/3 C all purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground Clove
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
In a small bowl, whisk together:
1/4 C Granulated Sugar mixed with 1 TBS of Cinnamon for dusting the cookies just before they're baked. I sometimes add a pinch of additional Cayenne to kick up the heat!
In a Stand Mixer with a Paddle Attachment:
Butter
3/4 C of the Sugar.
Beat for 5 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add:
Egg and Egg Yolk one at a time.
Beat until just incorporated.
Add the Vanilla and continue beating on low until creamy.

Sift twice.
Gradually add the Flour mixture to the bowl of the mixer with the wet ingredients.
On a floured Surface:
Roll out the dough to 1/2" thickness.
Cut out the various shapes of cookies.
Sprinkle each cookie with a dusting of the Cinnamon / Sugar mixture.
Place on the prepared sheet pan and bake at 375 degrees for 5 - 7 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes .
Transfer the cookies to the cooling rack and cool completely
Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
