Cinnamon Snaps

"Clipped this out of a magazine and only changed it a little. I cannot remember the magazine. These are like ginger snaps with cinnamon instead of ginger."

  1. I have made these cookies several times now and everyone gobbles them up. I've made them both with shortening and with margarine. While they are best made with shortening, they are also very good with margarine.
     
  2. Oh sooo good. Made these yesterday and there are very few left this morning! I really liked that these are so nice and mild -- probably why it's easy to eat so many! I used a cookie scoop instead of rolling, so I got 48 cookies. I also just sprinkled sugar over the balls before baking. Will definitely be making these again and again.
     
  3. Yum yum yummy! I made these this morning and am having a hard time not eating them all myself!
     
  4. Made these last week and everyone adored them! My partner hates ginger and I love the texture of ginger snaps so this was the perfect compromise cookie! easy to make. I also flash froze the majority of the dough in cookie balls and today I took out a few and baked them up quick for one of my kids to take in their lunch to school. Worked like a charm!

I have lived all over the USA but my heart is in the MidWest. I bake for fun, to the point where I have to keep a rolodex of people to give things to in order to spread it around!
