There are so many wonderful and decadent and over-the-top amazing cookie recipes out there I can sometimes get a bit overwhelmed!  I love things stuffed in things and layers and layers of chocolate and caramel and candy bars finely chopped and dumped into anything.

But I also love simple.  And elegant.  And perfect. These Cinnamon Butter Cookies are just that!
