Cinnamon Bun Cookies
Looking for a fun Christmas cookie! This Cinnamon Bun Cookies Recipe is it! They are super easy to make and so cute on a cookie platter! 
It is that time of year to get the oven busy baking cookies! I am a cookie baker by genetics, and I am sure my kids will be too! If there isn’t a fresh pan of cookies hitting the oven while the Christmas tree is up and Christmas Music is playing, well…it just isn’t Christmas Time!

I know…these look amazing ….and they taste just as fabulous!
my dough is always to sticky!!! =(
You have to flour your hands and board. I didn’t have that problem though. Hope you get it figured out. 🙂
I make cinnamon rolls often, and these sound great. I wonder if it would be less labor intensive to roll out the dough, sprinkle the cinnamon on, then roll and slice? This is how I do cinnamon rolls, and as I have dexterity issues I wonder if this would work.
Also, chilling the dough briefly might help make it less sticky.
Just made these tonight and they were SO YUMMY! 🙂 We are a gluten free house, so I used Cherrybrook Kitchen’s GF Sugar Cookie Mix -it’s Dairy Free too! – and it rocked! Thank you so much for all you do 🙂 (Oh, I got the mix at a Super Target in case you want to make some GFDF ones!)
You are awesome! Thanks for the tip! I will totally be doing this! I have actually gone gluten free myself, and I am trying to make as many of my recipes as I can gluten free. It isn’t as easy as it looks 🙂
I love your pastry board! The cookies look yummy too! 🙂
