These were so delicious! I actually used soy "butter" instead of the real thing and they turned out great. My 4 year old twins had fun dipping the dough into the cinnamon sugar, too! Yummy and perfectly crisp and chewy all at the same time!

This recipe is just like the one I got when we made them in third grade 
It's been a family favorite ever since.
Tip: If you like chewier cookies, firmly tap the pan on your countertop after taking them out of the oven. This deflates the centers of the cookies; the centers stay chewy, and the outer edge gets crunchy. Yum!!!

Awesome cookie! My husband says "they taste like more!" This dough is worth refrigerating between batches or the latter ones start to spread on the sheet. I rolled them all in the sugar/cinn and then kept them on a plate in the frig until it was their turn, putting them on the sheet at the last minute.
