Cinnamon Recipes

Cinnamon adds comforting warmth and a delectable fragrance to this collection of recipes, both savory and sweet.

Cinnamon Hazelnut Meltaways

The delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture of these cookies is reminiscent of Russian Tea Cakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies. Warming cinnamon spices up this hazelnut-based version of the teatime classic.

Peanut Banana Cinnamon Smoothie

Cinnamon spices up this banana and peanut butter smoothie.

Instant Cinnamon Ice Cream

It's tough to find cinnamon ice cream in stores, but thanks to this super-simple recipe, you don't need an ice cream maker to serve this fantastic flavor.

Cinnamon Raisin Noodle Kugel

Kugels are Ashkenazi (European) Jewish dishes, traditionally served on the Sabbath and holidays. This sweet noodle kugel is redolent with cinnamon. Try it for brunch or as an unusual dessert.

Hot Spiced Cider

Apple cider and warming spices meld together to make the perfect pick-me-up for a brisk day.

Passover Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Passover Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with an adaptation of my Aunt Clara's fantastic Pesach Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

Chai-Spiced White Hot Chocolate

This white hot chocolate, laced with chai spices, makes an elegant winter warmer.

Moroccan-Spiced Carrot Dip

Moroccan spices are blended into this smooth, spicy-sweet carrot dip. Try it with pita chips or crudites, as part of a mezze platter, or as a nutritious condiment for sandwiches.

Peach Merba

Not to be confused with Peach Melba, Peach Merba is a tart-like dessert featuring fresh peaches dressed simply in cinnamon sugar and baked in a vanilla sugar cookie crust.

Savta's Jewish Apple Cake

Moist, dense, and full of cinnamon- and sugar-coated apples, this beautiful cake makes a wonderful finale to a holiday dinner. It's delicious for breakfast or with coffee, too!

Honey and Spice Cake With Date Jam

This Honey and Spice Cake is moist, slightly sticky, and just sweet enough. Delicious the day it is baked, this aromatic honey cake is also great a day or two later, as the subtle spice flavor will continue to develop in complexity.

Maple Spice Cider Sorbet

This maple syrup sweetened cider sorbet captures the essence of crisp fall apples touched with warming spices.
