The 1st time I made these they became everyones favorite! If I don't make these EVERY Christmas, I wouldn't hear the end of it!! Everyone I know who has tasted these cookies give them 10 out of 10! REFRIGERATE dough for 2 hours or you can even throw them in the freezer for a half hour (no longer than a half hour though!!) They are great soft like a real cinna-bun or even if they are left in for a few minutes longer and get crisper.

It is hard to get a sincere compliment from my mom on anything, but she loved these cookies, and brings them up whenever I plan to bake something.

I love to make cookies that look good as well as taste good. I never make snicker doodles because they look so borring. This is bascily a snickerdoodle that looks adorable. A little more work, but worth it. I rolled out snake shapes like the directions said. It gives it more of a cinnabun look I wanted. This will definitley get attention at a cookie exchange!
