Cinnamon Cookies

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

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.

Good cookies, rather similar to snickerdoodles though. I think these definitely do have more of a cinnamon taste to them than snickerdoodles do.

PetesNina, these cookies were delicious, and you were right, they do come together very quickly. I shared them with a friend who is in the hospital, and my dh and I finished the rest the same day I made them. Thanks for posting this great recipe. :)

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.

I have been making these cookies for over a year now and am just getting around to writing the review now. They're amazing!! I always double the recipe and they still never last more than two or three days! They're not too sweet, are very fluffy and moist and just melt in my mouth. I've experimented with adding some cocoa powder and they were really good too! I've also tried to substitute the sugar in the dough for Splenda and they turned out horrible - so I know not to do that again!! My DH especially thanks you for the recipe!

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)

These are amazing! I tripled the recipe with great results. I got exactly 84 cookies. I didn't measure them, just went by feel. As another member did, I rolled some in cinnamon sugar, some in finely chopped pecans, and some in powdered sugar, then in the sugar mix.I lined my cookie sheets with parchment paper, and they came right off. I highly recommend this recipe, and highly recommend the parchment paper. I made these for my neighbors for Easter. They are delicious! I baked them for just 10 minutes, and some for 11 minutes, to get some crisper. Fabulous recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!

Great cookie with a nice cinnamon flavor. And they taste as good as they smell. I got 60 perfect circle cookies and used unsalted butter instead of margarine. Thanks.

These were delicious! I didn't change a thing. Mixed up the dough in no time flat and chilled it overnight in the fridge. I made tiny cookies and got about 70 cookies....but there are only about 50 left.....ummmmm make that 49!!!!!!!!

These are fantastic!!!! I am a chocolate lover and yet I would rather have these cookies. I am making several batches now for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe!

Delicious! I skipped the refrigeration and used a small cookie scoop (kind of like an ice-cream scoop but smaller) to make these. Because of this they didn't puff up too much, but they still taste great. I also forgot to grease the pan, just put them right on...to my surprise, they came right off with no issue! They were quick, easy and delicious -- thanks for sharing!

I have been making these for a few years now. They are wonderful. I follow the recipe to the letter with the exception of the 'rolling into balls part', I simply roll the whole batch into a large 1" thick slab and slice into 1" squares ( and toss them in a bowl of cinamon sugar). I do these along with my other holiday cookies and find the shortcut helps alot. they still taste great they are just slightly square. oh well!!

I have an insecure relationship with baking and I rarely bake the same thing twice, but these.. I will DEFINITELY make again. I zested an entire large orange into the dough prior to refrigerating and the flavor is ridiculously awesome. I highly suggest doing that if you want to add a little more character and funk to these already delish little cookies.

Tasty and very easy to make, I followed some of the other reviews and rolled in powdered sugar and it was great. The second batch I hid a chocolate chip in the middle as an added surprise. yum!

I know it's received so many comments, but I'm adding to them! These were the best cinnamon / snickerdoodle cookies I have ever had. Adding cinnamon into the dough makes ALL the difference compared to other snickerdoodle recipes. I made them within days of RecipeZaar's top rated snickerdoodle cookies, and this won hands down. As a note: my snickerdoodles didn't brown at 10 minutes...and their tops were a wee bit spongy when I touched them. I cooked them longer but they should have come out for super soft cookies (which I love). So stick with the 10 minutes even if you don't see browning. I stored them with two slices of bread and the crispier ones softened right up!

I doubled the recipe as others did and was glad I did. After the first batch came out of the oven, my son grabbed one, went to his room then came back out and asked if that's all there was. I told him I had more to make...he said "Good, I'll take this row" and grabbed a whole row off of the cooling rack. Excellent cookies. I decreased the cooking time by 1 minute because we like a chewier cookie. Thanks for the recipe!

These cinammon cookies are excellent. They're crisp and buttery, my family loved them. I prepared the recipe exactly according to the directions.... the only thing I'd change is next time I'd double the recipe. These cookies are so simple to make and taste so good. Thanks for posting this recipe PetesNina!!
