Beat together margarine and ½ c. sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add cornmeal, baking powder, 1 t. cinnamon, salt and soda. Mix well. Chill 1 hour. Shape dough to form about three dozen 1-inch balls. Combine 3 T. sugar and ¾ t. cinnamon. Roll cookie dough balls in this mixture and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees 8-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack; cool thoroughly. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
