Reviews
I used this recipe for my Christmas cookies since my husband isn’t a fan of regular sugar cookies. They came out okay, a little dry for my liking but at least they were cakey not crunchy. The cinnamon flavor came through nicely. They rolled out and cut well, and held their shape in the oven fabulously. They aren’t overly sweet which is good since I decorated with royal icing.
This was the first recipe I could actually cut out the cookies with cutters with no problems. I followed the recipe as written. I think next time I would add a glaze on top.
