Cinnamon Stick Cookies

I absolutely love these cookies with a cup of coffee. They're even better when it's cold and dreary outside. Perfect for a day like today.
I found this recipe in Jane Hunter's cookbook and she states that she received it from a friend named Sue Jacobs. Well Mrs. Jacobs had a daughter named Brooke Sue and she and I were pretty good buddies throughout my middle school and high school years. So maybe that is also why I love these cookies - because they remind me of my friend.
