Angel Wings (3 dozen)

Ingredients:
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
10 tablespoons sugar, divided
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
Colored sugar, optional

Directions:
1.)  In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles course crumbs.  Stir in the sour cream.  Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 6-8 times or mixture holds together.  Shape into four balls; flatten slightly.  Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate fro 4 hours or overnight.

2.) Unwrap one ball.  Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on waxed paper; coat all sides of ball with sugar.  Roll into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle between two sheets of waxed paper.  Sprinkle dough with 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon.  Lightly mark a line down the center of the dough, making two 6-in. x 5-in. rectangles.

3.)  Starting with a short side, roll up jellyroll style to the center mark; peel waxed paper away while rolling.  Repeat with other short side.  Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze for 30 minutes.  Repeat three times.

4.)  Place remaining sugar or colored sugar if desired on waxed paper.  Unwrap on roll.  Cut into 1/2-in. slices; dip each side into sugar.  Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.

5.)  Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Turn the cookies; bake 5-8 minutes longer.  Remove to wire racks to cool.
