Expert Tips

To ensure recipe success if using a vegetable oil spread, use a spread with at least 65% vegetable oil.

Rise to the occasion! If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

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.

These cookies turned out great! Plus, I only had to not use the cinnamon and my husband really enjoyed eating them, especially right out of the oven. I used 1c of butter rather than shortening, because I hate the taste of shortening. I find, like others, that the 8mins is perfect and then cool on the rack. I love that they are easy to make. My husband doesn't usually eat cookies and he said he would eat these. yea!

These cookies were absolutely amazing! I didn't add the baking soda or cream of tartar and they came out soo delicious. My husband is a huge fan of cinnamon and he couldn't stop eating them. I baked them in a 400F oven for exactly 8 minutes then transferred them to a wire rack. They were perfect!! I will be making these over and over again.

These cookies turned out excellent!! However, where it says "Servings 4" it should say "48" or "4 dozen" so that I would have known to reduce it by half so that it would fit in my new mixer. Otherwise, wonderful recipe. Thank you!
