You can find crystal sugar where you find cake decorating supplies. If you can't find it, you can use granulated sugar colored with a drop of food coloring, but the effect isn't as spectacular.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 (7 1/2 ounce) jar white crystal sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix flour, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. In another bowl, whisk butter, sugar, egg and vanilla.
4. Pour in the flour mix.
5. Stir until just blended.
6. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
7. Press them down with your fingers making them into a circle shape.
8. Bake for 8-19 minutes or until cookies are brown and crisp all over.
9. Transfer to a rack to cool.
10. Meanwhile, make icing by placing the white chocolate chips and the shortening in a small glass bowl.
11. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir well.
12. Microwave for about 30 seconds more, stopping to stir every 10 seconds, until mixture is very smooth.
