Cinnamon Sugar Cookies
I love a SIMPLE cookie recipe because they are easy to mix together and serve over the holidays. The hardest part about this recipe is rolling them into (somewhat) even logs, but it is definitely worth it.
The longer you leave the cookie dough in the refrigerator, the easier it will be to cut. I will make these and then let them chill overnight to ensure they are solid enough to cut the next day.
Enjoy!

TIPS
You can leave the cookie dough in the refrigerator for a few days or you can put it in the freezer.
If you want bigger cookies, you can split the cookie dough into large rolls, just make sure that when you slice them into rounds, they are approximately ¼ inch thick to help with even baking.
