Cinnamon Chin Chin

Cinnamon Chin Chin for the Win

For the past month on my blog, I have noticed in a surge in the search of chin chin recipes. The focus has been on soft chin chin for some reason. Luckily, I had the recipe already uploaded. Now that i am in the middle of my #12daysofChristmas series, I decided to slide in another chin chin recipe. It is very similar to the other one I have up with a few tweaks here and there. Plus being that it is christmas, I added some cinnamon to create a holiday taste. You can also play with it and add different things to the dough like milo or ovaltine for a different taste for your chin chin. Here is my Cinnamon chin chin for the holidays.
