Cinnamon Cookies

"These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. They make up easily, and they disappear fast. I make these every year when we put up our Christmas Tree. I serve them with hot Cocoa while we decorate our tree. I swear the cookies are anticipated as much as the tree!"

Reviews

  1. I used egg beaters and reduced-fat margarine. It still turned out great. Because of the lower-fat, higher-water content, the cookies puffed - so we had Cinnamon PUFFS! Yum! I rolled them in cinnamon sugar and the whole downstairs smelled wonderful while these gems were baking. They tasted good out of the oven and after a few days too! They reminded me of Dunkin' Donuts' donut holes - except not as greasy, sticky, caloric, or fattening. EVEN BETTER! THe way I made it, the calories: 24; fat grams: .86
     
  2. Made these cookies for a gift and also for Thanksgiving dessert. I was expecting them to flatten out like in some of the photos here but instead the cookies came out as little domes, soft and chewy. Yum! <br/><br/>Instead of buying cinnamon sugar, I mixed my own. This was just enough: 2 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar, 1 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
     
  3. These cookies are awesome and easy to make too! I am so happy I tried them. Definately not your ordinary Christmas cookie. I think they'd be great with a cup of tea...off to do that now.
     
  4. Excellent cookies. Easy to make. I made them soft and chewy instead of crispy and they were superb. Just decreased time by 2 minutes if you are a chewy fan. Reminded me of cinnamon toast in a cookie form.
     
  5. Fast and easy. Everyone loved them. next time I will be doubling or tripling the recipe! I cooked them for 11 minutes and they came out perfectly. I also didn't have to refrigerate for 2 hours, 20 minutes in the freezer and the dough was perfect. (I was in a hurry)

Tweaks

  1. Substitute 1/2 cup of very loosely packed dark brown sugar for 1/2 cup of white sugar during the first step. It tasted delicious.
     
  2. I didn't have any regular sugar so I had to use powdered sugar and it was so good my boyfriend said they were awesome.
     
  3. Great recipie! Mines are incredible mmmm
     
  4. I made these into chai cookies by adding a hodgepodge of warming spices: cloves, allspice, cardamom, ginger, and a splash of grand marinier. Omg.
     
  5. I didn’t have any vanilla extract so instead I used syrup and it made the cinnamon flavor POP! It made these cookies 10x better I swear!
