Cinnamon recipes

I decided to make this a participatory blog centered around things that make me and others happy... (in contrast to my myspace griping blog)...that includes cooking, music, books, poetry, outdoors, travels, art, and nerdy topics like mathematical formulas, science, and other things... we'll rotate.

Today's question centers around cinnamon ...which was mentioned as early as 2700 BC in Chinese texts...and later in the Bible as a token of friendship. It was also used for some less pleasant purposes as well but we'll forget about that.

Do you have a favorite recipe that calls for cinnamon? If it's not a secret recipe, please share! =) It could be someone else's recipe :) Just credit so I don't get sued or something ;) ...stayed tuned for a music question next...

Here's mine that I made up based on some experiments and tweeking of other brownie recipes. Based on the guinea pigs on third and fourth dot, my practicum site, lack of crumbs at the end of the day, and the fact that eating these cheered me up, I'm keeping the recipe in my list of Bad Week 101 solutions.

Olivia's Brownie Recipe

1 1/2 sticks of butter
3 oz semisweet chocolate
3 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 tbsp vanilla (I tend just to poor...my guess it amounts to about two tablespoons)
1 cup flour
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
three generous shakes of cinnamon (maybe the equivalent of a teaspoon...shaking the bottle without measuring is easier and more fun)

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter and chocolate together, either in the microwave or over low heat on the stove (microwave tends to be faster...just make sure it doesn't burn)...stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla and sugar. Then stir in one egg at a time and then add the flour and salt. Pour into greased 13x9 pan and bake. Check brownies at 18 minutes...most likely, they'll be done in 20 minutes.
