Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in butter and egg until soft dough forms.

I always fix cookies from scratch, but decided to give this one a try. It was a big hit and I made it several times. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing!

Such an easy recipe! Everyone loves these!! To save time I like to use store bought icing in a squeeze bottle, it's microwavable and taste just as wonderful as making your own icing!

Followed the directions exactly as stated and pretty much decided I would not make them again due to the fact that they were impossible to "roll" into a 5 inch log. The first batch was pretty much a blob of a cookie then I stuck the batter in the fridge in-between rolling out a log and would take it out as I was ready for the next. Kinda messy! They ended up being SUCH A HIT at our lakeside church fellowship that the Pastor's wife literally ran across the parking lot to grab me to ask me to get her the recipe. She said they were the best cookie she's ever had! After the rave reviews and the empty cookie container, I decided I will most definitely make them again! I will just make sure to refrigerate the dough a minimum of 30 min. to an hour before rolling it into the log. These taste AMAZING and were SO moist!!!
