Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Glaze
The holiday season is in full swing and that means cookie time! Baking cookies is such a traditional part of the holidays for many because baking and enjoying them brings families and loved ones close. Cookies are also a great way to show people how much you care for them during this merry season. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to share the perfect holiday gifting cookie recipe.
Raise your hand if you love cinnamon buns! Ok, so both my hands are raised but sadly, I am a terrible cinnamon bun maker. The last time I tried to make cinnamon buns they did not rise and were like little yeasty bricks in the pan–fail! 
Anyhow, I learned rather quickly that I can bake up come nice Cinnamon Roll Cookies because they are easy and the folks at Betty Crocker do most of the work with their Sugar Cookie mix pouch.
Don’t these Cinnamon Roll Cookies look awesome? I am such a fan of the cinnamon spice that my home always has a cinnamony candle going. 
Today, when I made these cookies they produced such a heavenly smell in the home and I didn’t even need a candle! 
They did require some patience which I am not the best with but it was all worth it in the end to have such a yummy batch of cookies.
My mom loves cinnamon rolls too so I gifted her a Christmas tin filled with them to surprise her. 
She has never been much of a baker so I thought it would be nice to spread some sweet cheer with her. 
I will have to leave them on her doorstep so she can be pleasantly surprised after a long day of work!
She should love them!

In a large bowl mix sugar cookie mix, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.

Once cooled, mix all the glaze ingredients together, and then swizzle over the cookies
Enjoy with some ice cold milk, or allow icing to firm up for gifting.
