1 tsp McCormick pure vanilla

This year my sister’s family was acting as an angel for another family in need, and I wanted to bake a batch of these cookies to send along with her Christmas donations. I hope they liked them!

  46. I love cinnamon rolls, but have never made cookies with just cinnamon as the main flavor. good idea. I often sprinkle a mix of cinnamon & sugar on toast for a sweet treat 🙂 Happy New Year!

  57. 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.

    • 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!

    And I love family angels and I know they’ll enjoy your cookies. It’s even better when you know they were made for you and not just bought at the store.

  79. Heaven. These look like heaven.

    And other than the eggs, I think I have most of everything else here now. And I gotta do the grocery store AGAIN this week anyway.

    Oh, wow…just delish!

  92. 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.

    Couldn’t you use the cookie starter mix for this?

    • 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.
