Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter, brown sugar, and chopped nuts in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture over cinnamon graham crackers lined in a pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Line the pan with foil before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the butter with cream cheese. You can also use pecans or walnuts instead of mixed nuts for a different texture. If you're short on time, pre-made cinnamon graham crackers can work well. Keep an eye on the baking time, as oven temperatures can vary, and check for a light golden color.
Serving Suggestions
These cinnamon cookies are delightful on their own, but you can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Pair them with a warm cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat. They also make a great complement to dishes like Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar?
Yes, you can substitute white granulated sugar for brown sugar, but this will alter the flavor and moisture. Brown sugar adds a deeper caramel note, while white sugar will make the cookies less chewy. If you prefer a lighter taste, try using coconut sugar as an alternative.
What can I use instead of nuts?
If you're looking for nut-free options, consider using seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch. You can also omit the nuts entirely for a simpler cookie or replace them with chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges and slightly firm to the touch in the center. They will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so be careful not to overbake them for the best texture.
