Well, howdy there! Today, we’re gonna gab about somethin’ sweet, somethin’ real nice – Mexican cinnamon cookies, y’know, the kind that just melt in your mouth.
Now, I ain’t no fancy baker, mind you. I just like things simple and tasty. And these here cookies? They’re as simple as can be, and let me tell ya, they taste like a little bit of heaven.
First off, you gotta get yourself some good stuff. Flour, that’s the main thing. Don’t go gettin’ that fancy-pants flour, just the regular ol’ stuff will do. Then you need some sugar, the white kind, y’know, the kind that makes things sweet. And of course, cinnamon! That’s the secret ingredient, the thing that makes these cookies special. Gotta have plenty of that, makes it smell so good, like Christmas or somethin’. And butter, gotta have real butter, none of that fake stuff. And a pinch of salt, just a tiny bit, to make everything taste better. Oh, and an egg, gotta have an egg to hold it all together. See? Nothin’ fancy, just good, plain stuff.
- Flour – Just plain ol’ flour
- Sugar – White sugar, the sweet kind
- Cinnamon – Lots of it, makes it smell good!
- Butter – Real butter, no fake stuff
- Salt – Just a pinch
- Egg – One egg to hold it all together
Alright, so here’s how I make ’em. First, you gotta cream the butter and sugar together. That means you gotta mix it real good, till it’s all light and fluffy. I just use a big spoon, ain’t got no fancy mixer. Then you beat in the egg. Just crack it right in there and mix it up good. After that, you start addin’ the dry stuff. Mix the flour and cinnamon and salt together in a bowl, then dump it in with the wet stuff, little by little, mixin’ all the while. Don’t dump it all in at once, or you’ll have a big mess.
Once it’s all mixed up, the dough will be kinda soft, but not too sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit of water, just a drop or two. Then you gotta roll it into little balls, not too big, not too small, just right. I like to roll ’em in some extra cinnamon and sugar, makes ’em extra special. Then you put ’em on a bakin’ sheet and bake ’em in the oven.
Now, the oven part, that’s tricky. I don’t got no fancy timer, I just kinda guess. I put ’em in at, oh, I dunno, medium heat I guess? Maybe 350 degrees, if you got one of them fancy thermometers. And I bake ’em for, maybe 10 or 12 minutes? You gotta watch ’em close, cause they can burn real easy. When they’re done, they’ll be golden brown on the bottom and smell just heavenly.
The beauty of Mexican cinnamon cookies ain’t in some fancy recipe or hard-to-find ingredients. It’s all about simple things, easy steps and a whole lotta love. That’s what makes them taste so darn good. These ain’t your store-bought cookies, all perfect and lined up in a row. These are homemade, made with love, and they taste like it too.
So there you have it, my recipe for Mexican cinnamon cookies. It ain’t nothin’ fancy, just plain and simple, the way I like it. And let me tell ya, these cookies are good for anythin’. You can eat ’em for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can give ’em to your grandkids, your neighbors, or just eat ’em all yourself. Nobody’s gonna judge ya. They’re just plain good cookies, that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now, go on and make yourself a batch. You won’t regret it.
And one more thing, don’t be afraid to experiment. Maybe you wanna add a little bit of vanilla, or some chopped nuts. Go right ahead! There ain’t no rules when it comes to bakin’ cookies. Just have fun with it, and make it your own. That’s the real secret to makin’ good food, puttin’ your own special touch on it. That’s what makes it taste like home.
