- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.

- Press about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into the bottom and up the sides of each mini muffin cup.
- Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the center of each cookie cup.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookie cups cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookie cups.
Notes
