Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

I finally got to do some Christmas baking this week! Of course the recipes I wanted to use all needed ingredients I didn't have, so I settled on these Cinnamon Sugar Cookies by Martha Stewart.

My cookie cutters.

I'm not very good at cookie decorating. But I learned some valuable lessons while baking these treats. Firstly, decorating sugar is not the same as icing sugar. I don't know why I immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was, but it is not. They did not look classy at all. Good thing I was totally okay pretending I was just reminiscing about my childhood and that I made them look like a five year old decorated them on purpose...

They are yummy cookies, the cinnamon gives them a nice something extra, but they were a bit hard. I'm not sure if it's because I cooked them too long or not. But regardless, they're perfect for dipping in a hot beverage!
