Cinnamon & Sugar Piggies Cookies Recipe

I have always loved to bake. My grandmother and mom both would make wonderful desserts when I was a child, so I came by it pretty naturally. Now that I am a mom, I am always finding fun recipes to try out for the kids. This last weekend, we had a campout in the living room as we often do on the weekends.

It included a family-friendly movie, popcorn and yummy dessert. Since I wasn’t able to run to the store to pick anything up, I decided it was a baking kind of night! Cookies are always a hit, so I browsed some of my favourite recipe sites online and found Piggies Cookies!

What I loved best about the recipe was the fact I had all the necessary ingredients already in my kitchen. Plus, with only six ingredients needed, it was a quick and easy recipe to make. The only question I had was whether or not these would be a big hit with my kids. Luckily, they came out absolutely delicious and we ate them all up before the movie was over!

1 & 1/4 cups flour

2+ tablespoons warm water

2. In a bowl, mix together flour and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup shortening until the mixture forms pea-size balls. Form a small area in the center of the mixture, pour in water, stir with fork to form dough. Add water a teaspoon at a time as needed. Shape dough into a ball.
