These are fast and easy cookies to make and one of my kids’ favorites.
ORIGINALLY POSTED DECEMBER 12, 2011
Today’s recipe is a new addition to our cookie trays. It is not one that we did when I was growing up but it’s one I include every year now.
Several years ago when my kids were in preschool we attended a book fair there prior to Christmas. I got them a “Strawberry Shortcake Holiday Treats” cookbook and this recipe is from there! It had all “regular” ingredients (aka ingredients I had on hand) and that’s why I liked it.
I usually have them help me by dropping the cookie dough in the cinnamon and sugar and having them roll them. Rolled cookies are good for that!
I often double this one, it’s a fast tray filler.
Tomorrow be on the lookout for a fun craft for the kids to go along with this recipe!
Here’s the girls’ cookbook that this recipe came from.
