- 1 tube sugar cookie dough
- 1 c. sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. As it heats, pour the sugar and cinnamon into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake until combined. Set aside.
- Open the sugar cookie dough and slice it into about 1/2-inch coins. Roll into balls and place in the bag. Seal and shake until they’re coated. Place each dough ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening the slightly into discs. Top with five almond slices, arranged in a star shape with the narrow end pointing toward the center of the cookie (so it looks like a sand dollar).
- Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
