Cinnamon Bun Cookies image

I love cinnamon rolls, but working with yeast can be scary. These cookies give you the taste of a cinnamon roll in cookie form-no yeast required! They look like flattened cinnamon rolls and feel special enough to serve around the holidays. -Erin Raatjes, New Lenox, Illinois

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I'm disappointed.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I prefer cookies that are more chewy.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier alternative to traditional cinnamon bun cookies.
