I have made these cookies twice. Once when I had company and once when I took cookies to a meeting. Everyone loved them. No one can identify the presence of the cumin but it seems to really intensify the flavor. I am just getting ready to make a double batch for Christmas. Don't leave out the cumin!

11/1/2010 01:36:29 PM Report AbuseI left the cumin out and it was fantastic with just the cinnamon filling.
11/1/2010 01:35:19 PM Report AbuseNot sure about the cumin. Will make first without to see how they are? Can someone comment who did leave it out and were they okay?
10/22/2010 12:58:24 PM Report AbuseThese cookies are the best!! The cumin goes great it gives the cookies a little spice almost like what you would get from pumpkin pie spice. I was a little worried about it at first too but it definately adds great flavor!
