Double Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies

These double cinnamon crinkle cookies are easy to make and taste just like a cinnamon roll in cookie form!

I’ve had my eye on cinnamon chips for a long time now but haven’t gotten around to buying them. Part of me thought, what will I ever use these for? Turns out they are stinking good and I’ll just so happen to use them in evvvverrrything. The thing that finally made me pull the trigger on the purchase (and oh yeah I bought six packages from Amazon), was Rebecca’s beautiful (no-knead!) cinnamon English muffin bread. As soon as I saw that recipe in all of its buttery toasted goodness, I finally bought the cinnamon chips. I’m here to tell you — that bread recipe is a winner…and so are these cookies.

These 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 pop of warm cinnamon flavor.

They are ridiculously easy to make too. 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 them 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! Oh and devour of course.
