I am a big fan of cinnamon. The aroma and taste are one of my favorites.
I love cinnamon rolls and sugar cookies, but don’t have the patience to make either. Traditional cinnamon rolls are very time intensive from letting them rise to frosting them one by one, etc. Traditional sugar cookies require refrigeration and then there is all the rolling out and cutting of shapes. While it can be fun, there goes your day. I wanted something quick and fast that combined these two favorites of mine. I am happy to report that I succeeded. I took this 9X13 pan to a family gathering last week and I was the last to arrive almost an hour past the starting point. The table was full of cookies and brownies and slush desserts. However, an hour later only one row remained in the pan while most of the other desserts lay untouched. I declare that a winning recipe to show up last and get eaten. You will love the soft, buttery, cinnamon sugary goodness this recipes delivers.
