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.

Husband’s take: I don’t think he tried these! He literally has hardly been home with his crazy work schedule. I sent most of these over to my neighbor’s house and her and her husband loved them.
Changes I would make: None!
Difficulty: Easy.

Good cookies but the recipe is incomplete. No instructions on how long to leave cookies in the pan. Also I had to turn my oven up to 375 for an additional 6 minutes in order to bake properly.

Thank you for the feedback! Have you considered adding a thermometer to the inside of your oven? Sounds like it may run on the cold side.

I had never used cinnamon chips before, but wanted to try since chocolate tends to aggravate my daughter’s reflux. The chips and these cookies are delicious!
