Cinnamon Delights

Who doesn’t love a good cinnamon treat? There’s something utterly magical about these little Cinnamon Delights that make them just irresistible. Imagine tiny puffs of dough, perfectly spiced with cinnamon and sugar, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. They’re like little bites of happiness that never fail to bring smiles all around. I promise, once you’ve tried them, they’ll dance right into your regular baking lineup. They’re the comfort food you didn’t know you needed.

My husband affectionately calls these his “Sunday Morning Specials.” The first time I made them, I caught him sneaking the last few off the baking sheet when he thought I wasn’t looking. Now, they’re a staple on lazy weekend mornings when we all gather in the kitchen, the smell of cinnamon wafting through the air. The kiddos love ’em, too, treating them like treasure they get to hunt down. It’s become a sweet little ritual in our household.

How to Make It

Okay, grab your favorite mixing bowl, because things are about to get deliciously messy. Start mixing the dry ingredients like you’re channeling your inner artist — the flour, sugar, baking powder, and, of course, the cinnamon. Here’s a little tip from my grandma: mix the cinnamon in well so it evenly spreads its warmth. Now, pour in the melted butter and milk, and stir until it’s smooth but not overdone. Just a little lumpy is perfect! Roll the dough into bite-sized balls, give them a coat of cinnamon-sugar, and into the oven they go.

✔Ingredient Notes

– Flour: I use all-purpose, but I’ve gone rogue with whole wheat — be brave!
– Cinnamon: Don’t skimp on this. It’s the whole point, after all.
– Butter: Salted or unsalted, just be you. I’ve used both, with zero complaints.

✔Recipe Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Stir in melted butter and milk until just combined.
4. Roll into small balls and coat with cinnamon-sugar.
5. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
6. Remove, cool a bit (if you can wait), and devour!

What to Serve It With

Two words: hot chocolate. Or, if you’re feeling brunchy, a steaming cup of coffee or tea. They’re like best friends; trust me on this one.

✔Tips & Mistakes

✔Storage Tips

Pop any leftovers (if you have self-control) into an airtight container, and they’ll last a good 3-4 days at room temp. That said, I’ve woken up early to snag a cold one from the fridge — no regrets.

✔Variations and Substitutions

If you run out of cinnamon (gasp!), try nutmeg or pumpkin spice as a stand-in. As for sugar, try tossing in maple syrup instead. It gets sticky, but in a good way.
