Cinnamon Bun Cookies image

I love cinnamon rolls, but working with yeast can be scary. These cookies give you the taste of a cinnamon roll in cookie form-no yeast required! They look like flattened cinnamon rolls and feel special enough to serve around the holidays. -Erin Raatjes, New Lenox, Illinois

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might add a little bit more butter next time.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. They ended up being more like cinnamon bun muffins.
