Cinnamon Sugar Crisps
Cookie #4 from my Master Cookie Dough is the kind of cookie that you think you can eat just one. Then you eat another, and another, and another. You close the container and walk out of the kitchen. Then you make up some excuse to come back in the kitchen, look around to see if anyone is watching you, and you eat yet another cookie! Not that I did this, I’m just saying. . .
Cinnamon Sugar Crisps are my version of a Snickerdoodle, which I nominate for the silliest cookie name EVER! Although I do admit it is more fun to say snickerdoodle than it is to say cinnamon sugar crisp. But they are both fun to eat, and that’s what matters, right?
What you’ll need:
Baking sheet
2 cups Master Cookie Dough
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
The key to both cookies is the cinnamon sugar that coats the outside of the cookie. Like the Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bites, you roll small amounts of dough into balls, then roll them in a mix of cinnamon and sugar.
Be sure the balls are coated completely. Place them onto a baking sheet, them smash them flat with the bottom of a clean drinking glass, or other flat bottomed object.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-13 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack. The cookies will crisp up as they cool.
As I was taking this picture I thought I had baked more cookies. Turns out my mother had snuck into the kitchen and eaten a few! I can’t be mad, these Cinnamon Sugar Crisps are that good.
More cookies are coming using the Master Cookie Dough! Stay tuned.

Don’t you love to see beautifully decorated cookies during the holiday season? Well, these may not be the most beautiful, but they sure are delicious!
I am working on a wonderful campaign from Smart & Final and The California Milk Advisory Board called “Help Our Teachers, Help Our Kids.” Students and families collect Real California Milk seals from select Smart & Final First Street products, then their teachers submit the seals. Each seal counts as one sweepstakes entry. Teachers who submit 100 seals get 25 Scholastic books or a $25 school supply gift card. Each teacher who enters gets one Scholastic book. The First Street products in this campaign are all items you probably buy each week, such as butter, milk, cottage cheese and ice cream. To support this campaign, please visit the First Street Supports Southern California Schools website.
My last post for the campaign was Creamed Corn with Maple-Pepper Bacon. This post I needed to come up with a gift idea for teachers. My Master Cookie Dough uses First Street butter, and is easily made into lovely Christmas cookies to give to your favorite teachers. I enlisted my four year old to help me decorate the cookies, which of course meant lots of icing licking and sugar eating while completing her task!
Grandma got in on the action, eating the cookies with her Granddaughter.
Don’t you love the Nutcracker sweater my mother brings out every Christmas? Oh boy. . .
What you’ll need:
Cookie Cutters
Baking sheet
2 cups Master Cookie Dough
Flour for dusting
Tubes of Icing with decorating tips
Colored sugar
Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Dip the cookie cutters in flour to ensure the cookies do not stick.
Cut out the cookies and place them onto a baking sheet. Re-roll the dough scraps to make more cookies.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them.
Although I called for tubes of icing, you can make your own in whatever colors you choose. If you really want to be fancy, you can make royal icing, a thin and smooth icing.
Have fun, let the kids have fun and make a teacher smile!
