Some types of Girl Scout cookies are only available to certain areas, its just demographics. Now this cookie must've been not very popular in our area but I would've tried them. How can you go wrong with a homemade version of one of the few low-fat versions of girl scout cookies they offer? This cookie, christened the Cinna-Spin was released a few years ago, and is still not available in all areas. For an even cuter and tastier cookie, go ahead and add the icing. It’s too easy to make, just combine a cup of powdered sugar and about 1 -3 teaspoons of milk. Just very slowly add the milk to the sugar until you get the right consistency, then drizzle over baked cookies when they are still warm. (Warning: the addition of icing doesn't make them low-fat)
Cinna-Spins Recipe
Ingredients
6 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon (for rolling dough in)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add butter and sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix well. Add egg and mix again. Add vanilla and mix. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
2. Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a log shape 5 inches long. Create a line, 5 inches long with the cinnamon, kind of mounded. Let the dough touch the cinnamon just on one side. Then roll the cookie up like a cinnamon bun with the cinnamon side on the inside.
3. Place cookies on baking sheet and bake 7 – 10 minutes.
