If you like cookies of all kinds such as sugar, snickerdoodles or the classic chocolate chip, this cinnamon chocolate chip cookie is going to be a treat for you! Combining the best ingredients of each of these cookies, you will find yourself eating two or three without blinking an eye. Be careful: you may blow your week’s diet on these fabulous treats.

When it comes to making any type of cookie, the steps are pretty similar. You will sift or stir together your dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then you will cream together butters and sugars. I recommend adding spices at this point as it really helps develop the flavor. Next, you’ll beat in the egg and any remaining liquid. The more you create air at this point, the taller the cookie will be. If you want flat cookies, don’t mix too long. Finally, you mix in the flour and any remaining dry ingredients until just combined. You don’t want to over-mix in this stage as it leads to a tough cookie. Just mix until you no longer see flour.

So let’s start making this wonderful cinnamon chocolate chip cookie recipe below. Feel free to mix up the sugars, swap out the butter for margarine or another type of fat such as shortening and use a different kind of nut. The goal of baking is learning how to make food to suit your palate. And if you want to dress it up? Crack on some salt right as they come out of the oven. It really balances out that sugar.

Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made with cinnamon, walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips, this is not your grandma's classic chocolate chip recipe! Still as easy to make as the original with a more grown up taste. Swap out the walnuts for any kind of nut or leave them out all together.
