Fans of cinnamon will fall head over heels for these festive lollipops. Make them throughout the year using different cookie cutter shapes.—Sheryl Salisbury, Weatherford, Oklahoma

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Dash salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon oil
3 to 4 drops red food coloring
12 lollipop sticks

Directions

Butter 12 assorted 3-in. metal cookie cutters. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil; cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
Remove from heat; stir in oil and food coloring (keep face away from mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately pour sugar mixture into prepared cutters.
Remove cutters just before lollipops are set; firmly press a lollipop stick into each. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
