    Cream Cheese Frosted Cinnamon Bun Cookies

    These scrumptious cinnamon cookies are way, way addicting and guess what?  They never made it to the next day, let alone a few hours.  It's no wonder!!

    It's like absolute heaven with that aromatic gorgeous aromatic cinnamon bun smell drifting about in the house.  Intoxicating!

    So, I have 2 Ways to Make These Cookies 

    You can make them from scratch from my Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chip Cookies recipe or you can use Pillsbury Cinnamon Bun Flavored Cookie Mix.

    Both are amazing, you just have to choose which one you want to go with!

    Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chip Cookies

    The home-made snickerdoodles are super easy to make, as is the boxed cookie mix.

    As for the cookie mix, Just follow the directions and add some extra white chocolate chips for a fun flavor twist with the Pillsbury Cinnamon Bun Cookie Mix.

    Everything is already included as far as cinnamon candy bits and you adding the ingredients required, water, oil & eggs.  However, since these cookies are seasonal, so you may not be able to get it.  That's why we gave you the other option to make them home-made.

    Also, if you don't want to  make the frosting, you can buy the cream cheese frosting or even frost them with vanilla frosting.  Whatever makes your life easier.  All I know is, we want cookies! 🙂

    • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
    • Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt until just combined. Do not over-mix, dough should be wet, but crumbly looking.
    • Scoop dough balls out with ¼ cup cookie scoop.
    • Roll balls in sugar and place on parchment lined cookie sheet while you preheat the oven.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    • Bake cookies 2 inches apart for 15 minutes. Do not overbake to keep them soft and chewy style.
