Looks at these pretty little bites of deliciousness….
These are my hubby’s all time favorite cookies. When I told him I was making a batch, he basically flipped out and did a happy dance.
Ok maybe he didn’t actually do a happy dance but I like to imagine that he did. At least on the inside.
So I know it might seem lame to talk about the weather, but seriously. What the heck is going on with the weather here in Denver? One day it’s 60 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous. And two days later it’s supposed to snow a foot? Then it’s back to the warmer sunny weather.
I love Colorado but it would be really great if the weather here could decide between winter and spring. Just sometime in the next week or so would be great. I am getting weather whiplash from all this back and forth.
In other news, I have been having the hardest time figuring out healthy filling lunches. The only thing I can figure out is what kind of cake, cookie, or cheese I want to eat next… Suggestions anyone?
While you mull that over and respond, I’ll be over here on the couch. Eating yet another cookie.

- Chill dough for 3 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight works as well.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
- In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon for the rolling sugar.
- Roll approximately 2 Tbsp of dough into a ball. Roll the ball in cinnamon sugar and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Bake cookies for 8 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Cool cookies on the sheets for at least 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
