These cookies are light and crisp. Great served along side a scoop of Vanilla Bean ice-cream.

I work as an assistant cook at a retreat and conference center here in Texas. I like to make these cookies in different shapes. Boots, cactus, cowboy hats etc. It's fun and everyone likes them.

How To Make mexican cinnamon cookies

Step 1

In large bowl, beat butter till fluffy. Add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and flour. Mix till just combined. Wrap dough and chill till slightly firm.

Step 2

Shape into 1 inch balls or roll and lightly floured surface and cutout. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
Step 3

Remove to wire rack…while warm sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. If you made your cookies in 1 inch balls…roll them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. (I use parchment on my cookie sheets, slide it off onto the counter and then sprinkle) Let cool.
