minutesThese cinnamon roll cookies are my favorite, they are soft and the chunks of the melted cinnamon are delicious! They only take 15 minutes to bake, take out of the oven ice and enjoy! I love eating them warm.

- Using medium ice-cream scoop, scoop cookie dough onto a baking sheet and roll into balls. Put rolled cookies in freezer for 15 minutes. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Flatten cookie down with a back of a measuring cup 10 minutes into baking. Use a mug or round cookie cutter right when they finish baking to make them perfectly round. This will make 18-20 medium size cookies. Make icing by combing ingredients and drizzle onto cookie.
