Cinnamon Snaps

We were out of town visiting friends for the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was a relaxing and fun time. During our visit, my friend’s daughter and my daughter decided to bake this easy homemade cinnamon snap recipe. The girls then mixed all the ingredients, rolled the dough into balls, and dipped them in raw sugar before baking them. These cinnamon snap cookies turned out perfectly cooked and extremely delicious, with slightly crisp edges and soft inside. They were a huge hit with everyone, and the girls were quite proud of themselves!
