‘Tis the season for Cinnamon Chips!
Or at at least at my house. I guess there are some places where you can buy them every day, but my local grocery store starts carrying them around the holidays, at which point I stock up. Cinnamon chips are a great way to add flavor and touch of richness. If you can’t find them at any of your local grocery stores, you can order a 6-pack of Hershey’s brand off Amazon. Also, King Arthur flour sells their own cinnamon chips, which I have yet to try.
Anyhow, I baked these last weekend so that Fuzz would have something to take to the school cookie drive which was scheduled during a time I was out of town. While I would have preferred to serve them fresh, I froze them for a few days and am hoping they taste just as good as they did before I left. They are quite a unique cookie. Melted cinnamon chips go into the batter, and more melted cinnamon chips go on top. To keep the cookies chewy, they use a little corn syrup. And for extra flavor and texture, the cookies get rolled in finely ground (or chopped) pecans. These took a little more work than oatmeal cookies, but the family liked them and I hope the teachers do too.

December 8, 2010 at 7:41 pmYum! These look great! If I don’t have cinnamon chips can I substitute white chocolate?

December 8, 2010 at 4:45 pmThose look delicious! I might have to go on a hunt for cinnamon chips so I can try them.
And I wanted to comment on another comment, Louise, Orangecicle and Root Beer Float cookies sound delicious as well! I may have to hunt a recipe for those down!

December 8, 2010 at 3:45 pmHershey’s Cinnamon Chips are good. So are their Vanilla Chips. I like to add the cinnamon chips to Snickerdoodles to kick up the cinnamon. And I like to make Orangecicle Cookies or Root Beer Float Cookies and add the vanilla chips. And, buying them in the grocery store beats having to order them. 🙂

December 8, 2010 at 9:20 amI love the idea of using cinnamon chips in lieu of a more traditional chocolate. A fun holiday twist on a classic favorite! Great recipe!
