# Cinnamon Bun Cookies This Baking Recipe Turns the Traditional Cinnamon Bun Pastry into a Cookie By M | Published 2014-09-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-bun-pastry References: [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com/cinna-mini-cookie-bites/) & [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com) Baking blogger extraordinaire Bakerella created this delicious cinnamon bun baking recipe that turns the delicious pastries into yummy bite-sized cookies. Known as Cinna-Mini Cookie Bites, these yummy confectionaries are a great miniature version of the larger sweet buns. To make these Cinna-Mini Cookie Bite all you need to do is follow Bakerella's recipe that converts a traditional [cinnamon bun pastry dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-cinnamon-roll-syrup) into a [sugar cookie dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-cookie-dough-gelato-bite). This will give the cookies the same cinnamon bun flavor but on a much smaller and denser scale. Then you can roll the cookie dough out and fill it with cinnamon and sugar just like a traditional cinnamon bun. Slice the dough into circular rounds, bake in the oven and glaze with vanilla icing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Miniature Desserts:** The trend of creating miniature versions of popular desserts presents an opportunity for bakers to innovate and offer bite-sized treats. - **Creative Baking Recipes:** The trend of developing unique and creative baking recipes allows for disruptive innovation in the world of pastries and confectionaries. - **Transforming Traditional Recipes:** The trend of transforming traditional recipes into new formats or flavors offers exciting opportunities for culinary experimentation and innovation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bakery:** The bakery industry can take advantage of the trend of miniature desserts by offering a wide variety of bite-sized pastries and treats for customers. - **Food Blogging:** The trend of creative baking recipes provides opportunities for food bloggers to generate unique content and attract a larger audience. - **Catering:** The transformation of traditional recipes presents an opportunity for catering companies to offer innovative and distinct menu options to cater to different tastes and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pull-Apart Caramel Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-mini-cinnis.md) - [Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-cupcakes.md) - [Kid-Sized Cinnamon Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-bites-cinnamon-buns-muffins.md) - [Cinnamon Roll-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-cookie.md) - [Cinnamon Roll-Flavored Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon.md) - [Convenient Muffin-Style Cinnamon Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-buns-muffins.md) - [Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-cinnamon-roll-cookie.md) - [Regional Flavor Cinnamon Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-japan-cinnamon-buns.md) - [Bacon-Topped Cinnamon Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlotzskys-bacon-bon.md)
