It truly surprised me the amount of restraint I didn’t use when preparing these cookies for the oven. There’s nothing like the aroma of cinnamon baking in the oven but I must admit I was in no hurry to put them there. Fun fact: it was this recipe that inspired me to think back to all my favourite cookie batters (also, it’s important to note that trying to think of a #5 was very difficult - so it’s not so much a “Top 5″ list but merely a “My 5″ list.)
