"With this recipe, you can conjure up quick and delicious cinnamon stars cookies. True cinnamon lovers can add a little more cinnamon to the dough if they wish. Just make sure to season the dough to taste! If you don't have a rolling pin to hand, you can also use an empty wine bottle to roll out the dough. Have a wonderful holiday season!"
