Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 g ) white granulated sugar
- 1 stick butter , preferably melted
- 2 eggs , separated
- 2 cups (280 g) flour
- 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon (or to taste)
- Colored sugar or nuts for topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Mix the butter and sugar until completely combined. Mix in the egg yolk, then the flour and cinnamon (preferably by hand, though this all can be done in a mixer if you want).
Pour batter into a cookie pan. Use the palm of your hand to spread and smooth it over the whole pan (this is the hardest part).
Brush on leftover egg white. Scatter your desired toppings evenly over the batter.
Bake in preheated oven until cookies are golden brown (about 20 minutes). Remove, and let cool slightly.
Before they get too cool, cut them into small 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares.
