Cookies
Sugar Cookie Mix: Cuts prep time down by using this quick and easy mix. Provides the base flavor and structure of the cookie.
Ground Cinnamon: Infuses the cookie dough with a hint of cinnamon which complements the sweetness. Also provides a concentrated burst of cinnamon flavor in the swirl.
Butter or Margarine: Adds flavor, tenderness, and helps the cookies spread.
Egg: Binds, adds moisture, and enhances the overall richness of the cookies.
Glaze
Powdered Sugar: Adds the sweet factor to the glaze.
Milk: Thins the powdered sugar to create a smooth, drizzle-able glaze.
Vanilla: Enhances flavor.
Here are the quick steps to make Cinnamon Swirl Cookies, see full recipe below for all the details.
combine the sugar cookie mix with cinnamon, softened butter, and egg until a soft dough forms.
