Intense cinnamon flavor fills this yummy cross between a snickerdoodle and a cinnamon roll. Some people even say these taste like Christmas! —Mary Gauntt, Denton, Texas

As other people mentioned the dough crumbled and it was a little confusing in the directions on how to assemble. But all in all they tasted pretty good, I'm not a fan of the icing and the cooking time for my oven just wasn't right so my cookies came out kind of crispy rather than gooey like expected. I wouldn't make again simply because of the irritation I got from the dough breaking so much and being such a hassle. Great taste and look though!

I made these Christmas eve for family and everyone loved them! Instead of using white chocolate for the drizzle, I made more of a typical cinnamon roll drizzle.

These cookies are a NIGHTMARE to make! Just like others said, the dough is way too crumbly and extremely difficult to roll into shape without breaking apart. The taste was fine but certainly no better than regular snickerdoodles. I finally begged my husband to help me finish rolling them and by the time we were done, we didn't even care about making the icing. Never making again!

They actually do taste like mini cinnamon rolls! The dough kept breaking apart when I was rolling them into shape, but I kept working with it. I made my own icing instead of using white chocolate. Going to add the them to my holiday cookie baking list.

OK I guess. They did not keep their shape: even though I refrigerated the dough on the second batch.
