cinnamon butter cookies

Last week I was having one of those days. A cookie craving kind of day. I realized it had been weeks since I had made cookies, maybe even over a month and I figured I was way overdue.

I wasn’t quite sure what kind of cookie I was in the mood for. I am always in the mood for a good chocolate chip cookie but I was also in the mood to try something new so I pulled out my file of “to try” recipes that is always overflowing and pulled out one that had been in there for a while. Unfortunately, there is no name, website or anything on the recipe. I have no idea where or who it came from but it was in my file.

This recipe is for a butter cookie made with cornstarch. The addition of the cornstarch creates a light and delicate cookie that basically melts in your mouth when you bite into it. The dough is very soft.

Cinnamon Butter Cookies

Because the dough is so soft, the easiest way to roll it out is to put it between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out with your rolling pin.

Cinnamon Butter Cookies

You want your dough about 1/4 inch thick. I used a round cookie cutter but a star, flower or heart would be fun too.

Cinnamon Butter CookiesWhile they are baking mix up your cinnamon frosting. You want the frosting fairly soft, not runny, but soft.

Cinnamon Butter Cookies

You want to frost the cookies while they are still a little warm. Not too warm though. If the frosting melts right off the cookie they are still too warm! Having the cookies be slightly warm creates a nice smooth frosting. I then gave them a little sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

Cinnamon Butter CookiesOne of the most common questions I am asked by my blog readers is what I do with all the goodies I make. How could I possibly eat them all and stay the size I am? Well, here’s my secret. I don’t eat them all. I have discovered that if I post a photo of what I am making on Instagram, within minutes, I will have neighbor kids knocking at my door. I love it!! I think I may enjoy having them come by more than they enjoy the goodies! These cookies were a total hit with the neighborhood kids and I think one of the boys may have eaten five of them in a matter of a few minutes!!

So that’s my best calorie saving tip for you! Feed the neighbor kids!!

    Does the frosting set hard enough that you can stack the cookies?

    These look great! I don’t like rolling out cookies, so I might try these as a slice and bake cookie instead. I imagine that if that soft dough is partially frozen, it’ll be easy to slice rather than mushing everywhere. Thanks for the recipe, Leigh Anne!
