Butter Cake Cookies with a Cinnamon Glaze.
I love the combination of butter, sugar, and cinnamon so I decided to try making these cookies. I was very pleased with the results and found them to be quite addicting. I took a basic sugar cookie recipe that makes buttery cake like cookies and then I made a glaze for them using butter, sugar, and cinnamon and drizzled it over the top.
The cinnamon makes the glaze look like it is chocolate but it is just cinnamon. You could actually make these with a chocolate glaze instead of cinnamon though.
Recipe makes a small batch, one cookie sheet worth of cookies.
