Cinnamon Snaps

We were out of town visiting friends for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a relaxing and fun time spent with amazing people. During our visit, my friend Madison, my daughter Meg and I decided to bake some cookies. Madison helped gather up all the ingredients and patiently waited for me to take pictures of them. The girls then mixed all the ingredients, rolled the dough into balls and dipped them into raw sugar before baking them. They turned out perfectly cooked and extremely delicious. They were slightly crisp on the outside but really soft on the inside. They were a huge hit with everyone. Thanks for the great time baking Madison and Meg!

Original recipe from Taste of Home
  • 3/4 cup of butter, softened
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of molasses
  • 2 1/4 cups of flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Raw sugar (not pictured)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the softened butter and brown sugar with a mixer until creamy; add the egg and molasses and mix well. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and gently mix together. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixer until well combined.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and dip into the raw sugar; place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. Enjoy.
