Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Coated Cookies

I've been wanting to bake some cookies for a while and today, I decided to try this recipe call Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Coated Cookies. The name itself is already interesting so I can't wait to taste it!.

The recipe calls for 1 tablespoonful of mixture to be baked but as you can see from the picture, it yields a pretty large cookie measuring 9 cm in diameter! After looking at my first batch of LARGE cookies, I decided to make slightly smaller ones using 1/2 tablespoonful and these cookies came out just a nice size of 7cm in diameter.

I really like the combination and the cookies are really crispy on the edges and chewy in the centre. I just can't stopped myself from having one after another :P
