FAQ ❓

How long can I keep these cinnamon cookies?

In an airtight container, they keep very well for 15 days.

Can I add other spices if I don't like cinnamon?

Of course, you can add vanilla powder, for example, if you don't like the taste of cinnamon.

Can I freeze these cookies?

To freeze, wait for the cookies to cool completely. Then place them in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. They will keep for 2 to 3 months in the freezer.
To defrost, remove from the freezer and thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or reheat briefly in a low-temperature oven.
