grandma's cinnamon toast cookies
This is my original recipe that took me a while to get right. This cookie is NOT a snickerdoodle! It is a thin, crispy, buttery delight. Just like that warm cinnamon toast my grandma used to make for me. Enjoy!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Grandma's cinnamon toast cookies are wonderful! They're filled with the nostalgic flavor of cinnamon toast, in a cookie form. Super easy to make, they're similar to a snickerdoodle being rolled in sugar, but without the tang of cream of tartar and way more cinnamon flavor. So, if you're a cinnamon lover, these are for you. They're thin, slightly chewy, and crisp around the edges. A wonderful cookie to enjoy year-round, but they'd be tasty on a holiday cookie plate.
