Cinnamon Cookies
Recently a friend from high school dropped me a note and asked if my Grandma had any cookie recipes that would be good for a Christmas cookie sale. I was actually very excited about this inquiry, because it gave me a sense of "mission" as I started thumbing through all her cookie recipes. I will admit, I have pulled several out that have what I would consider to be "potential". The cookie recipe I chose today is titled Cinnamon Cookies. It isn't the recipe I started with, because, what I found was, that my Grandma wasn't opposed to the "2-sided recipe card". Well, as I look at this one, it isn't even a recipe card, it is a post card. Yep, I told you she would write a recipe on anything. These recipes are written on a "Happy Birthday" post card. It's hard to read the recipe date, but it is dated 9/26/71. Seems like a really long time ago.
These are pretty easy, probably the hardest part is rolling them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. I used a cookie scoop that was probably a little too big (it's been a long time since I have seen a "whole walnut" - that's my excuse and I am sticking too it). In fact, mine were probably closer to golf ball size (ok, not really, but they weren't the size of walnuts either).
For Christmas, I like the idea of putting a dozen of these in a cellophane bag and add some ribbon or bows. I tried to get a rating from Bubba, but he was too busy eating them to give me one. Ultimately I think he gave them a 7 (He's too tough!).
