These old-time cinnamon jumbles have been one of my favorite drop cookies since childhood!
Cinnamon Jumbles
Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening (part butter or margarine) (use cold, not softened butter/margarine)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp pure vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Mix shortening, 1 cup sugar, and egg well. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Add to rest of ingredients. Chill dough.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
Sprinkle generously with a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 min. or until set, but not brown.
Enjoy!

Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom says
Yum! These sound a lot like snickerdoodles.
Debby Pucci says
They sound delicious. I love cinnamon! So do you use shortening or do you use butter instead?
I know years ago we always used shortening, I always have some in my pantry.
Blueviolet says
I usually use just cold, cold butter. I cut it up into small pieces and then I chill it again before I start mixing things up, but this time I used half cold butter and half butter flavored shortening just to see. I like it either way!
Debby Pucci says
Have you ever made them with shortening? I am sure in the past when you were growing up they were made with shortening. Thanks for the response.
Ms. A says

I’ve never had a cookie with buttermilk in it! It sounds good…although I’ve been getting rid of all the cookies that we have in the house! Way to many this year.

These look great. Are they basically like snickerdoodles without cream of tartar and fork cross hatching?
Liz says
I know I’ve made snickerdoodles before but I can’t remember if they were soft or crunchy. These are very light, fluffy, and cake-like.
