Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Adding a little extra cinnamon to the mix can give them more flavor.
Try chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This can help make the cookies even fluffier.
Experiment with different amounts of cinnamon to make the flavor stronger or milder to your taste.
Enjoy baking! 🍩😋
