I took these to work and asked if they were a keeper and they all agreed "YES!" I'd say I'll be making these again and again! Other than the 2 hour chilling period, they are very quick to make.

    Once dough is chilled, roll into balls (about walnut size). (you can use a large cookie scoop for this)
  • Step 6
    Mix cinnamon swirl mix (came inside box) with powdered sugar and roll cookie balls in cinnamon swirl mix and coat well.
