Ooh yummers. So easy to make (basically using just the key baking ingredients) and so delicious too. Crunchy at the sides and soft in the middle, with a slight tang of cinammon (I could do with more cinammon taste though). Its similar to some other vanilla-flavoured cookies I've made before, but what really makes this special is the cinammon coating. I didn't actually follow the recipe for the cinammon coating because I already had some cinammon sugar mixture leftover from my cinammon bun experiment, so I used that instead.

VERDICT: 8/10
