Allrecipes----24 servings---A less fattening version of an old favorite.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar (you can get by with less than that)
4 ounces low fat cream cheese
1 egg
2 egg whites
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 1/2 cups white sugar, and cream cheese. Beat in the egg and egg whites until smooth. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover, and refrigerate dough for at least on hour.

Preheat oven to 400*
In a small dish, mix together the remaining white sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and roll the balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place the balls at least 2 inches apart on cookie sheets, and flatten slighty.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.
