Cinnamon Sugar Cookies image

These melt in the mouth treats never lasted long once grandma had put them in the cookie jar !!! These cookies are perfect for baking ahead of time and freezing. Grandma left the cookies to cool completley, then she would open freeze them until soild. Once solid, she stacked the cookies, a few at a time, and wrapped them loosely in foil. Then she sealed them in a freezer bag and froze for up to 1 month.
