minutesMy kids love these. I have been making this recipe forever. I wanted to find a recipe that did not have shortening in it and I have tried so many and this recipe I come back to always. The cookies turn out beautifully and they taste amazing. Plus, this is such an easy recipe to whip up for a last minute play date or to bring to a friends house. I love the way the house smells with cinnamon and sugar baking in the oven. It can put a small on your face and make you feel warm and cozy.
