I used the Ultimate Sugar Cookie recipe for the dough as I wanted to use what I had on hand.
Both my oldest son and I really tried to
follow the directions for dipping and rolling, but with all the handling, it was difficult to keep the dough together.
The rolls kept breaking apart or breaking
into pieces while rolling. So, what my son and I did was quickly roll it into
"snakes", like we do with Pla-Doh, then
dip the whole cookie into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. I had used tinfoil on baking sheets that I had greased with cooking spray, to minimize the sticking that comes when you make a cinnamon-sugar dusted cookie. They turned out really well and the kids loved having "Cookie Testing Time" with their favorite neighbors on the block. I undercooked them just a little, to keep them soft.
I'd make these again. They are like Snickerdoodles, but just a little fancier.
EDITED TO ADD: These spread like the dickens. Funny thing is, that the warmer the dough got from my hot-oven kitchen, the less it spread. I might just use just-made dough next time. These freeze well for school lunches. Freeze them in portions and by the time it's lunch, they're thawed and less likely to break!
