*2 cups sugar
*2 eggs
*1 tbsp light corn syrup

Add dry ingredients and mix until well blended. If dough is sticky and too hard to handle, you can refrigerate it for an hour.

3) Place cinnamon sugar coated cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookies have puffed up and the surface is slightly cracked looking.
4) Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet a few mintues before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
