These cookies are quite easy to assemble and have a lovely, subtle spicy flavor. I baked for the full 15 minutes. They puff up when baking and the resulting cookies are uniformly shaped. My family loves the spicy cinnamon/chocolate combination. I saved the leftover spicy cinnamon sugar mixture to use on breakfast toast.
