Cinnamon Swirl Cookies

Okay everybody, I'm just going to get down to it...these cookies are delicious. They are not the average, run of the mill sugar cookies. Nope, we put a spin on them..literally (sorry, that was pretty lame). The cookies smell and taste just like cinnamon buns, and have become a family favorite and a staple for all family gatherings.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do.

The batch I made came out soft and chewy. So delicious! Make sure to cut a VERY tiny hole in the frosting bag, or else they glaze comes out too quickly.

These turned out delicious and so cute! They were chewier than I expected, but in a good way. I just used a basic sugar cookie dough recipe instead of the mix.

What a great idea! I've got a super soft spot for anything cinnamon, so just had to give these a go. I modified stevequag's sugar cookie recipe base, and then did the traditional jelly-roll style slicing to get even cookies. Yum!
