Cinnabun Cookies

I love love LOVE this Cinnabun Cookies recipe! It makes the most amazing buttery cookies with a delicious sticky, caramelized cinnamon frosting on the top. Simple and sweet these cinnamon roll cookies are completely irresistible! But the reason I love it so much is the trick I finally discovered for getting the Cinnabon topping just right!

After many attempts at creating different Cinnabon mixtures and frosting the cookies before and after baking, I had a eureka moment. By dolloping the Cinnabon mixture onto the baking tray, laying the cookies on top, baking, and then flipping over, you end up with the perfect all-over cinnamon frosting! The cookies literally sink into the gooey topping as they bake! Amazing cookies with a delicious, perfectly spread frosting to enjoy!
