I’m pretty picky when it comes to cinnamon. I tend to only really love it in warm, cozy fall recipes with pumpkin and apple (SOON!). I don’t really like it paired with chocolate, I’ll never add it to a savoury recipe, and my most hated cookie of all time is the dreaded Snickerdoodle. So I was prepared to not really be a fan of these Cinnamon Spritz Cookies and I was right. It’s not that they’re bad, they’re just not for me!

I had some major problems with the meringue filling for this cookies; it didn’t firm up enough to pipe, even after whipping far beyond the suggested five minute timeframe. There are lots of reasons this can happen, and this morning I didn’t really have an interest in figuring it out.

So that brings us to the end of the Cinnamon section of Baked Elements! Here’s a little recap of what I made, and my favourite recipe from this section.

• Recipes made: Classic Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, Cinnamon Chocolate Souffles, Cinnamon Spritz Cookies
• Favourite Cinnamon Recipe: Classic Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
• Recipes I Didn’t Make: Whole-Wheat Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels, Spicy Brownies, Brown Butter Snickerdoodles, Holiday Spice Cake with Eggnog Buttercream (the group made these before I caught up)
