You have to try these cinnamon roll cookies
Biting into these cinnamon roll cookies is like biting into your favorite dessert in cookie form. My favorite thing about cinnamon rolls is the icing but I really wanted to try this recipe in cookie form. The first attempt turned out horribly but the key to this recipe is to roll out the dough like a cinnamon roll and sprinkle the cinnamon inside. Next you have to cut up the dough like you would a regular cinnamon roll and bake.
Tips:
- Splitting the dough in half makes it easier to sprinkle the cinnamon sugar. It's also quicker to cut up the cookies this way.
- Add some leftover cinnamon sugar on top of the cut up cookies for some extra flavor.
