Yesterday, I apparently had a craving for cinnamon and sugar because I made three different treats coated with cinnamon and sugar: cinnamon rolls, snickerdoodles, and pie crust cookies.
To make the cinnamon rolls, I used this sweet dinner roll recipe and split it in half. Half of the dough I made into dinner rolls and the other half I made into cinnamon rolls. Instead of using all white flour, I substituted 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour and then just used 2 1/4 cups white flour.
Snickerdoodles are one of my husband's favorite cookie recipes. I find this recipe works best for us. It appears I was a little heavy handed with the cinnamon in the coating mix.
The final treat I made was pie crust cookies. I did not make any pies yesterday; instead, I used the pie crust recipe from the Kitchen Aid mixer cookbook and used half of the dough to make the cookies. I rolled the dough out until it was very thin, coated it with butter, and covered with cinnamon and sugar. I then baked them for a little over 8 minutes at 450 degrees F.
Now we have plenty of cinnamony treats to enjoy for the next few weeks.
Do you have a favorite cinnamon recipe?
