Tips:

  • Use fresh cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon has a more intense flavor than pre-ground cinnamon. If you can, use a microplane grater to grate your own cinnamon sticks.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will continue to harden as they cool. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
  • Conclusion:

    These red hot cinnamon spritz cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With their bright red color and spicy cinnamon flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
