  • Re: Cinnamon Crackle Cookies

    This is a great recipe. My daughter used this recipe for her first year 4-H cooking project. She won Junior Grand Champion. We made the cookies several times and had to adjust the amount of flour we used (less than called for because our cookies got to hard after they cooled) but it was great learning experience for her. Everyone that tasted the cookies loved them.
