Original Recipe Yield 2 -1/2 dozen cookies
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound 1.5 ounce) pouch Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  •  
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in butter and egg until soft dough forms.
  2. On piece of waxed paper, shape 1 tablespoon cinnamon into a line about 5 inches long. Using floured fingers, shape 1 tablespoon of dough into a rope 5 inches long. Press one side of dough rope into cinnamon.
  3. On ungreased cookie sheet, coil dough rope tightly, cinnamon side facing center, into cinnamon-roll shape. Press end of rope into roll to seal. Repeat with remaining dough. Place cookies 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
  4. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  5. In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.

Footnotes

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):
  • Decrease butter to 1/3 cup.
  • Success:
  • To drizzle the glaze easily, place glaze in a small food-storage plastic bag, snip off a small corner of the bag and squeeze to drizzle glaze over cookies.
