Tips

  • To ensure recipe success if using a vegetable oil spread, use a spread with at least 65% vegetable oil.
  • Rise to the occasion! If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
  • These rich cinnamon-sugar cookies make a great gift! Place a bag of them in a small basket along with packets of cappuccino or hot chocolate mix.
