Cinnamon Balls<\/h3>
Pane-bistecca<\/div><\/div>\n
\n Cinnamon balls are quick to make and taste very Christmassy! It’s Christmas time again and the first Sunday of Advent is just around the corner. So it’s time to bake cookies. \n

\n\t\tThe dough is quick to make with just a few ingredients, and for that really good cinnamon flavor, I rolled it in cinnamon sugar. This gave it a delicious crispy crust and so much flavor! And they are gluten-free!!

\nCinnamon is one of the oldest spices. It is said to have been used as such in China and India as early as 2000 BC. The Egyptians used it for embalming, as a spice, and as incense. It was also used in ancient Greece, as attested by Herodotus and Hippocrates, for example.

\n It was already actively traded in the Roman Empire, where it was first used as medicine, an aphrodisiac, and incense, and only later as a spice. According to legend, after the death of his wife Poppaea, the Roman emperor Nero lit large cinnamon fires in the streets of Rome in her honor.

\nAfter the decline of the Roman Empire, trade was dominated by the Arabs. In the Middle Ages, cinnamon, which Taddeo Alderotti counted among the aromata, was known in Europe as a remedy for gout and other diseases and was also already used as a spice. Venice dominated the cinnamon trade in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. This was followed by the Portuguese, who colonized Ceylon in 1505 to secure and promote trade with India; this led to war with the Dutch in the 17th century in the struggle for control of the East Indian territories. <\/div>\n
