Cookies!!
Not just any cookies…Cinnamon Cookies. You KNOW how I feel about cinnamon…
Real quick though…How was your weekend? Mine was filled with baking and I loved every second of it. I finally had a Saturday that I could devote to my oven and I am so glad that I did because I ended up with these guys…oatmeal cookies with cinnamon icing. They are to die for.
I had four of them…in 3 minutes.
The dough is delicious…definitely a bowl licking dough. I chilled it for about an hour before I baked them. I think it helps brings the flavors together and it makes the dough easier to work. I measured and rolled into balls and then lightly pressed them down. You don’t have to do this. It just makes a flatter cookie. These actually bake really well so you can just roll the dough into a ball and leave it at that.
I almost dunked my face in the cinnamon icing…cinnamon and I are very close…like face to face close.
I love a simple icing…I put it on all types of treats like pumpkin crumb cake, pumpkin cookies, and lemon bread.
A little butter, confectioners sugar and water can change EVERYTHING. In this case, I added a touch of cinnamon and vanilla. So yum and the perfect topping for these cookies.
These would be a great Thanksgiving treat! What are your plans for the big day? I am heading back to Iowa to be with my family – so looking forward to being to hanging in my stretchy pants and eating all day. đŸ˜‰
