    Crunchy Cinnamon Cookies

    I love these Crunchy Cinnamon Cookies. I like experimenting with different kinds of cookie recipes and keep the best ones for my shortlist of go-to cookies. These Cookies made it to that list.

    Crunchy Cinnamon Cookies

    I often mention on this blog that many of my recipes are easy to make like this one is. Additionally, I always say how great the recipe tastes. That's because if I don't like how the recipe turns out, I don't publish it on this food blog.

    These cookies are no different, they are easy to make and taste great. The very first time I made them, they were gone before I knew it!

    Since I love Cinnamon so much, I just had to look up its origin on one of my favorite websites. Here's the article I found.

      This cookie had a strong baking soda aftertaste which is surprising since there isn't a lot in the recipe. Maybe it doesn't play well with the cream of tartar? Not sure why the cream of tartar was in the recipe anyways since its usually used to help stabilize meringues.

      Overall pretty bland. Could have used some cinnamon in the actual dough, or some nutmeg or something. Won't make again

      I make these cookies on an almost weekly basis, my spouse and I really enjoy them. I altered the recipe slightly by pressing the balls flat with a fork before baking. They didn't spread out as much as I expected when I baked as directed in the recipe and they are somewhat chewy, but flattening into discs before baking results in a much crunchier (& slightly crumbly) cookie.

        forgot to add that I also bake them at around 325 degrees F for 15-17 minutes (my oven tends to run hot)
