Instructions

- Bake the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
- Swap Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts for Strawberry, S’mores, or Frosted Blueberry.

- Use a maple glaze instead of cinnamon for a cozy flavor.
- Make bar cookies by spreading dough in a baking pan and slicing into squares after baking.
