Warm cinnamon cookies. Sweet cream cheese. Amazing. While I was making these cookies, things did not turn out the way they were supposed to. I was discouraged. I made them into drop cookies instead of the original rolled/cut cookies and they came out amazing. They are perfect for the holidays. I recently made these for my husband's work thanksgiving potluck and let's just say, the container was empty by the end of it. I even heard someone say that they were really good. Yes, I am proud. :)
