Sorry for the late response, but I have used cinnamon in mine since I began making them a few months ago. I just use the bottle that you can "shake" the cinnamon out of and use a couple dashes. Everyone loves it when I make these cookies. I had read this idea on CC somewhere after I made my first regular batch of NFSC and liked it better than the plain ones.
I never make NFSC without cinnamon and one other secret ingredient, I find it to be to blah without it.
Everyone has always loved the taste! I use 1tbsp to 6 cups of flour
Thanks to the replies here..the next batch of NFSC will have cinnamon.
Here's a recipe I thought I'd share:
CHAI SUGAR COOKIES
* 1 1/2 cups margarine or butter, softened
* 2.5 cups white sugar
* 4 eggs
* 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 5 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 4 tsp chai spice mixture* (prepackaged or see below)
* (Optional additions I like: Sometimes I add ½ of the zest from a lemon. It is just divine.
In a nice large bowl, cream together the sugar and the butter until really smooth. Next, beat in the eggs and the vanilla. Mix the chai spices with the flour baking powder and salt, then add that to the large bowl of wet ingredients. I like to chill this overnight or at least a couple hours.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼ to ½ an inch thick. Cut into pretty shapes with cookie cutters or into circles with a cup. Place them on ungreased cookie sheets and bake 6-8 minutes. Cool before frosting or decorating!
*Chai spice mix â Mix two teaspoons each of ground cloves, cinnamon, and ground cardamom and then add one teaspoon of white pepper and blend well.
