I'm back from the my trip to Barcelona, I had such a nice time there and also quite busy days, but also time to relax, enjoy with the family and friends and of course time for cooking. Cookies I show you today I use to make them quite often since they are very easy to make and people use to like a lot. I assure you can't take only one. I love them specially for its texture, they taste like small cakes, are lightly crispy outside and inside soft and chewy. It will depend on your preference but I would recommend you not to bake them so long otherwise the cookie will get to crunchy. Actually you only need to roll them on the cinnamon sugar, but I rather to add some extra flavour in the dough as well.
The origin of these cookies is a little bit confusing, some says it comes from Germany, others form the US area from New England, the certain thing for me is they taste lovely and is a good snack for Christmas seasson, I use to associate this spice to the holidays are coming. If you like this type of cookie you can have a look to these cookies, which are a kind of variation of them, and are often referred as sugar cookies.
