    Tips and Tricks for Making This Cinnabon Cookies Recipe: 

    • Handling raw dough is not always easy. It would stick to your hands. The best way to avoid this is to rub a small amount of oil or butter on your hands so the dough won’t stick to them.
    • If you do not have a non-stick baking pan, it is best to line your baking pan with parchment paper. It is so much easier to take out your cinnabon cookies after baking.
    • Before pouring the glaze into your cinnabon cookies, wait for a good ten to fifteen minutes. Cooling the cinnabon cookies will prevent the glaze from being too watery and the glaze will adhere better to a cooler surface.

    How to Make this Cinnabon Cookies Recipe:

    Before starting off with mixing the ingredients for the Cinnabon cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease an 8-inch square baking dish and add parchment paper for easy removal.

    Let’s begin!

    In a large bowl add butter, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar:

    Remove them from the freezer and slice them into cookie bites. Place it on the mat and bake at 350F for 10 minutes.

    ready to bake cinnabon cookies

    Cool the Cinnabon cookies on a wire rack and, after 10 minutes or so, pour the sugar glaze over each cookie:

      Hey Lainey! I made these cookies and my family LOVED them! I am REALLY bad at baking but these turned out to be my best cookies! I just have a few questions, how long can you leave them in the freezer and do you have to let them thaw out if you leave them in too long? My cookies tasted great but, before I put them in the oven, I have to arrange them because they fell apart! Any tips on how to fix that? Thank you SOOOO much! 🙂

        Hi Anna! Woohoo!! I’m so glad it turned out great! Yes, these cookies are very delicate, don’t move them when the cookies are hot. Move them when they are completely cooled. 🙂 xx

      I had the same issue as Anna- after I sliced them and tried to put on cookie tray… BEFORE baking, they fell apart. When you say cut into cookie bites, what do you mean?

        Hi Lisa! Sorry for the late response. What I meant by cut into cookie bites is that cut or shape them into bite-sized cookies.

      Hi I’m Kylie and I’m 12 years old. How much bigger of a recipe should you have if you want to make more than 12 cookies?

        Hi Kylie, I’m sorry for the late reply. It’s going to be easier to double the recipe and you can use the scale button on the top of the recipe card. 🙂
