This sweet and spicy—and ever-so-easy—recipe was inspired by our time-tested Cinnamon Stars, but we’ve added a shortcut that makes them perfect for last-minute bakers. These crispy cookies are topped with creamy frosting and a sprinkle of crushed cinnamon candy for a super star look that doesn’t take all day to achieve. The secret to the shortcut is using time-saving ingredients—Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix and Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting—that’ll help you pull together a batch of these beautiful, home-baked cutout cookies even during the busiest time of the year.
