It’s already day 4 of Christmas Cookies Week. So far I’ve brought Spiced Christmas Cookies, Nana’s Molasses Cookies and S’mores Drop Cookies.
Today I am sharing these incredible Cinnamon Cookies.
They are a must make every Christmas. They just taste like Christmas, in every single bite.
Why should you make these Cinnamon Cookies?
- They are super easy to make, with ingredients you probably already have.
- They taste like Christmas, and make your house smell amazing, plus they are wonderfully soft.
- They are a very popular choice on a holiday platter.
What is in Cinnamon Cookies?
- Flour

How do I best store cookies?
Most cookies are best stored in an airtight container and usually last about a week.
Cookie jars are fine if you plan to eat your cookies within a couple of days, but they usually dry out quickly in a jar.
For best results I suggest a tupperware type container with an airtight lid.
Since it’s Christmas week, there lots of recipes to check out!
