Cinnamon Cookie Recipe

I bought some beautiful organic cinnamon and ever since have been looking for ways to use it. So good for you!

I tried a few cinnamon cookie recipes and then started taking bits and pieces that I liked and made it my own with some additions. This is my final recipe. I usually double it and after the cookies are cool I keep them in the freezer.

Cinnamon Cookies 

These are not overly sweet and great with coffee or tea.

A good quality cinnamon makes all the difference, add extra!
