INGREDIENT NOTES

Cream Cheese:

  • Try low-fat cream cheese to add a full, creamy texture, but it will only cost you too many points. Melt it so that it mixes together easily into the batter.

Light Butter:

  • Gives a buttery taste at a reduced fat amount. Melted butter mixes more thoroughly into the mixture.

Sugar Substitute:

  • Maintains the cookies sweet but point-friendly. Pick a measuring blend of baking that sounds like sugar.

Vanilla Extract:

  • A supplementary, sweetened, treat-like scent that smoothes the cinnamon sweetness. The best flavor is imparted by pure vanilla.

Egg:

  • It is used as a glue to bind the dough into a tight-knit form & yields a fine & soft cookie crumb.

Self-Rising Flour:

  • This is convenient, & it has baking powder and salt ready in the package, which provides your cookies with a slight rise.

Cinnamon:

  • Churro flavor star. Try to use fresh, good-quality cinnamon that has the most saturated and comforting flavor.

TIPS

  • If the dough is too soft to roll, wrap it upward and freeze it for 15 minutes.
  • Give an extra flavor by drizzling with a light glaze of sugar substitute & almond milk.
