Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

My chocolate chip cookie addiction continues.

I just can’t help myself.  I find a new chocolate chip cookie recipe and I just have to try.  Could it possibly be better than my favorite chocolate chip cookie?

I was browsing through a fun cookbook the other day and found a recipe for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that used cinnamon.  I was intrigued and decided I must try it.  Truth be told I am not a big fan of spice flavored cookies but the addition of cinnamon into a chocolate chip cookie really works.  I was a little worried about it so I only added the cinnamon to half of the dough.  Didn’t want to totally ruin a perfectly good batch of cookie dough. I figured if I didn’t like the cinnamon I still had half a batch of cookie dough!

Well, it worked!  The addition of the cinnamon to the cookie was delicious!  Texture is just as important to me in a chocolate chip cookie as flavor is and I loved the texture of this cookie.

It is a flatter cookie with nice crisp edges but with a chewy center.

The cookie was quite  lovely dunked in a cold glass of milk or just by itself.  It was a nice change from an ordinary chocolate chip cookie.  Spice it up the next time you make cookies and try these Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies.
