Cinnamon Snaps
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 10 min./batch
YIELD: 4-1/2 dozen.
Since I'm a longtime cinnamon fan, I decided to give traditional gingersnaps a different twist. My husband and son agree I spiced them up just right. We live on a ranch overlooking the ocean and also own a machine shop business.
