Cinnamon cookies played a big part in The Cakemaker. Oren brought the cookies back to his wife and son. Thomas made the cookies (and many other treats) to help Anat’s restaurant. The baking scenes were very sensual, you really felt that Thomas cooked with love. After watching the movie, all I wanted were cinnamon cookies and tea.

In a mixer bowl, cream together sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
Add to butter mixture. Blend well.
Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or till firm enough to roll into balls.
Shape dough into small balls about 3/4-inch in diameter. Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.
Set cookies 1-inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or till the edges are lightly browned.
Cool slightly on pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.
