Cinnamon Chip Cookies ~ Yum

Guess what I found in the baking section?
Hershey's Cinnamon Chips!
Every now and then I will run across a recipe that calls for these... they are very elusive and hard to find. When I saw them sitting innocently enough on the grocery shelf, I snatched them right up!

~*~ Using a recipe on the back, I baked up a batch of Oatmeal Cinnamon Chips Cookies. The recipe called for raisins, but I added milk chocolate chips instead. They were pretty delicious. Thought you might like to give them a whirl!

Oatmeal Cinnamon Chips Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 2/3 cups (10 oz. pkg.) Hershey's Cinnamon Chips
*3/4 C. Raisins

*I substituted milk chocolate chips, probably about 1 cup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in oats, cinnamon chips and raisins and/or chocolate chips (batter will be stiff).
Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Makes about 4 dozen.
Mine didn't make 4 dozen, more like 2...I like BIG cookies!

Now all you need to do, is pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, sit down and relax with a nice warm cookie, what in the world is much better than that!
