Most people have never heard of Cinnamon Jumble cookies, which is a shame because they are absolutely delicious. This is a recipe that I my grandmother taught me, she learned it from her aunts when she was a young girl. These cookies are incredibly soft and remind most people more of cake than a cookie. They make a great alternative to the everyday chocolate chip and sugar cookies. In addition, they are easy to make and almost everyone loves them. I enjoy making these cookies around the holidays for a few reasons. For one, cinnamon is a great flavor and smell in the winter time. Secondly, it is something completely different from the other cookies served around that time of the year.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup of shortening (part butter)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup of buttermilk (¾ cup of milk and ¾ tablespoon of vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 cups of flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
For cookie topping:
Mix together:
- ¼ cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
First mix thoroughly the shortening, sugar, and egg. Then stir in the buttermilk and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the shortening mixture gradually. After all the ingredients are mixed together, let the dough chill for at least an hour. Then drop rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with the mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are set but not brown. Let the cookies cool and enjoy!
