German Sugar Cake Cookies.
This recipe makes soft cake like sugar cookies. I always love the old fashioned sugar cookie recipes that call for milk. These cookies remind me of the soft thick cake like sugar cookies that my grandma would almost always have in here yellow cookie jar when I came over. She would sprinkle the tops with sugar before baking.
With this recipe I mixed cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkled on the top before baking but you could also just sprinkle with sugar or even frost them!
