Glazed Cinnamon-Mocha Cookies



This is my first recipe that made it to the Pillsbury Bake Off contest in 2002.  After sending in recipes for 14 years, I finally got the call from Pillsbury.   The first person I called was my mom.   I first learned how to bake from her, and there was no question that I was going to take her along with me to the contest.  I highly recommend that if you want to have the time of your life, enter this contest!  Not only will you eat delicious food, you will also meet celebrities and other foodies like yourself.  You may even win $1,000,000!  The photo above is from the Pillsbury website, along with the recipe below.
