The only thing this recipe has going for it is the ingredients are healthy. I added 1/2 t. more cinnamon in hope of more flavor, but the dough is so much like bread dough, that it was very hard to "cut out" cookies. At the end, I spread rolled out dough with butter, added cinnamon and sugar and rolled it up like cinnamon rolls. The "rolls" look great, have a little better flavor, but still seem like bread. Nice try, but no cigar!
