FAQs
Cinnamon Chip Cookies are delicious, spiced cookies made with cinnamon-flavored baking chips, offering a unique and warm flavor that's perfect for any time of year, especially during the fall and winter months.
Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months. If freezing, scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
If you can't find cinnamon baking chips, you can substitute with a mix of white chocolate chips and a teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Alternatively, you can chop up cinnamon-flavored candy bars or use butterscotch or toffee chips for a different flavor twist.
Top Tips
- Allow your butter and eggs to come to room temperature before using them. This ensures even mixing and a smoother cookie dough.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This aeration step is crucial for creating a tender and soft cookie.
- After mixing the cookie dough, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilled dough is easier to handle, and it helps prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat oven to the correct temperature. An oven thermometer can help ensure accuracy. Baking at the right temperature ensures even baking and prevents cookies from burning or spreading too much.
- Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake. They should be slightly golden brown around the edges but still appear slightly undercooked in the center when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to cook a bit as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Store cinnamon chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Adding a slice of bread can help keep them soft and fresh for longer.
How to make Cinnamon Chip Cookies
- Prepare baking sheets with baking mats or parchment paper. In a stand mixer or electric mixer, cream butter and sugar, until creamy and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed.
- In a bowl, whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar). Mix into the wet ingredients, until no dry flour, but do not overmix.
- Stir in cinnamon chips. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, stir ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for rolling cookies.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the chilled dough into 1 to 1.5-inch balls. Roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Place cookie balls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer onto wire racks to cool. Enjoy!
