Oatmeal Chocolate and Cinnamon Chip Chipsters



Ever since I saw Jenny at Picky Palate's post about Cinnamon Chips, I have been on the hunt for these beauties! I finally found them at a local grocery store and went home and created a lovely cookie with Oatmeal, Chocolate Chips and Cinnamon Chips. Oh my, these cookies melt in your mouth. I can usually contain myself around cookies and limit myself to 2, but these cookies are on a whole different playing level. It's so much different than just adding cinnamon. The cinnamon chips melt and combined with the chocolate and they truly are a delicacy! Yum, Yum and Yum, are the only three words that I can use to describe these delights. Make sure you pour yourself a glass of milk with these babies, dunking is perfect for these chewy cookies!



Oatmeal Chocolate and Cinnamon Chip Chipsters

recipe by stephanie
makes 4 dozen

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups cinnamon chips (I found Hershey brand)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat 1 stick (1/2 cup) of the butter in a mixer until smooth. Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. In a seperate bowl, add flour, baking soda and salt and whisk until combined. Add the remaining butter (1 stick) to the flour mixture and using your hands break up butter into flour until well combined and the butter is at least pea sized within the flour. Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture until well combined. Stir in oats, cinnamon chips and chocolate chips. Chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Scoop onto baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned.

Tip: I baked 2 dozen and scooped the remaining dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer until frozen and than place in a ziplock freezer bag and bake at your own convenience! Fresh cookies any time you want!

Hi Steph,
So glad you found your cinnamon chips! I'm afraid this Super Target by my house is going to stop selling them, I'd be devastated! Your cookies look insanely good, beautiful!
