My daughter is craving cinnamon. She wants some kind of cookies with cinnamon. Any ideas?

The best cinnamon cookie ever - SNICKERDOODLES!!!

Yeah you can totally make snicker doodles out of cake box cookies.

1box Yellow or white cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 oil
mix well, make cookie balls and flatten with a glass dipped in cinnamon sugar. They bake better on parchment- no sticking either.
Bake 350° until puffy and crackly looking. Take out before edges turn golden brown.
They stay soft and chewy.

I don't think I've ever had snickerdoodles. Do they have a strong cinnamon taste?

these turn out like a soft chewy buttery sugar cookie with a cinnamon sugar top. Very good... so good you won't have any left over

How much sugar and how much cinnamon in the sugar/cinnamon mixture?

Make up like 1/4 cup of sugar in a dish and a few sprinkles of cinnamon like 1/2 tsp- 1tsp

Can I add some extra cinnamon to the boxed cake mix? Or will that be too much?

I wouldn't add more then just a sprinkle. You mean you haven't baked them yet...? They are so easy you could be eating them by now. Ha ha

sadsmile, you're funny! I just found a box of white cake mix in my cupboard, but it's past my bedtime , so I'll be baking in the morning. Thanks for your help!

I add more cinnamon in my cinnamon-sugar ratio... I just like a really "cinnamony" taste.

I also add a few dashes to the dough when I'm mixing it.

Nothing yet...? Or did you guys eat them all and are afraid to come in and tell on yourselves?

I'm going to have to try Sadsmile's version. So easy, thanks for the tip!

Well it's not my recipe. I dare not take credit for these easy peasy yummy things. LOL

Here is a recipe that I got off of Food Network. I was going to make some for the Holidays but I didn't get a chance so I don't know how they taste. The recipe sounds like a good one, though. I do hear that snickerdoodles are super YUM!

Oh I see you stopped to take a pic... nice!

Yes I did, first batch is gone and second batch is cooling and the gentle hum of my kitchen aid is buzzing in the background with the next batch

They are so delish! Enjoying it right now with a hot cup of tea

thanks for the recovery wishes, I hope so too, but nothing like a little baking to lift the spirits up

LOL that's the spirit! Nothing like hot fresh chewy cookies!

newamansmom2004 that sounds so good I think I make just have to give it a try as well LOL

G, when you feel up to it....make these! They ARE to die for! And don't blame me when you each the entire batch! But I would suggest freezing some so you'll have some when you get a craving

sadsmile, my daughter (the one with the cinnamon craving) LOVED the cookies, and her boyfriend loved the cookies so much that he proposed to her! (well, he was going to propose that evening anyway, but I like to think it was the cookies that did it). Thank you again for an easy delicious recipe.
