I’ve had my eye on cinnamon chips for a long time now but hadn’t gotten around to buying them. The thing that finally made me pull the trigger on the purchase was my friend Rebecca’s beautiful (no-knead!) cinnamon English muffin bread which is loaded with the cinnamon chips. How long it takes: 15 minutes to make the dough, 10 minutes per batch to bake Equipment you’ll need: mixer, cookie sheet, parchment Servings: makes 3 dozen cookies P.S. If you’re a fan of everything cinnamon, be sure to try my snickerdoodle cookies, snickerdoodle bars, and snickerdoodle bread!
About These Cinnamon Cookies
Lots of cinnamon flavor! Cinnamon crinkle cookies taste like a cinnamon roll in cookie form: sweet, chewy and full of great cinnamon flavor. I love the cinnamon flavor throughout these cookies thanks to ground cinnamon but the real gems are the cinnamon chips, little bold morsels of cinnamon that give you a burst of warm cinnamon flavor. Easy to make. The dough comes together like a typical cookie dough: cream the butter and sugar, mix in the dry ingredients and then stir in those magical cinnamon chips. Roll the dough into fairly small sized balls and then give them a good coating of powdered sugar. Once that’s done, all that is left to do is bake, and boy, do they smell wonderful!
Make It Your Own
Vary the baking chips. If you like, substitute another type of baking chip for the cinnamon chips. These cinnamon cookies are great with chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. The combination of cinnamon and chocolate will remind you of Mexican hot chocolate (be sure to try my Mexican chocolate shortbread cookies, too!). Add sparkle: Roll the cookies in granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. Try rolling them in cinnamon sugar to make triple cinnamon crinkle cookies! Make ahead idea: Prepare the cinnamon cookie dough ahead of time, wrap it securely and refrigerate for a day or two. When you want to make the cookies, roll the balls and continue with the recipe as directed.
Storage Tips
Once the cookies have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to a week. They can be frozen for up to a month. Quick-Start Guide!
