EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. If it's too firm, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

These rich cinnamon-sugar cookies make a great gift! Place a bag of them in a small basket along with packets of cappuccino or hot chocolate mix.

This is the second year I tried these cookies, never again. They are excellent right out of the oven, but then get hard as a rock. I have to put bread in the container to soften up. Maybe I am doing something wrong????

I make snickerdoodles every year, it's not my favorite cookie but my kids love them. This recipe is pretty good, the only part I'm not sure if I like is how the cinnamon looks once it's baked with the colored sugar. I only put 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in with the 2 Tbl of sugar because that seemed like a lot color wise. Out of the over, it almost looks dirty, the way the cinnamon browned.Doesn't really look that appealing. Other than that, good cookie
