Under Distinctly Christmas Cookies+ General+ Sugar Cookies
This cookie dough is perfect for holiday cookies: it holds its shape when baked and can easily be doubled. Not too sweet, slightly crisp and flaky from the leavening, the cookies are delicious unadorned, but are nice, too, sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar or decorating sugar before baking. The recipe is from New York City pastry chef Michael Morehouse, who named the cookies for the aunt who passed the recipe on to him.

This cookie is tasty and a bit different. The cinnamon chips are only available during the holidays, so I always purchase several and keep them in the freezer so I can make these yummy cookies throughout the year. You will receive many requests for this recipe after you serve them.
