Directions
For cookies, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
Beat shortening, remaining 1 cup brown sugar, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in large mixing bowl with electric mixer on high 3 to 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Alternatively add flour mixture and milk, beating on medium until well combined.
Drop dough in 20 mounds 3 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Slightly press to flatten tops. Stir cinnamon mixture. Place mixture into a pastry bag* fitted with a small round-shape piping tip. Pipe a spiral shape on top of each dough mound, beginning at the center. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until centers are set. Cool completely on cookie sheets on wire racks.
