Cinnamon: Use a high quality ground cinnamon for best flavor. Or, if you like a bit of a kick, add a touch of nutmeg, or cardamom.
Butter: Unsalted butter is best because you can adjust the salt, but salted butter can be used in a pinch, which will lend a slightly different flavor profile.
Icing: use more or less milk to powdered sugar ratio for desired consistency. For a little more zing, try a splash of lemon juice for the vanilla extract.
