These Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies have the perfect chewy center, with the right amount of chocolate chips, and a hint of cinnamon.
Chocolate chip cookies are one of those cookies that when done right they are perfect in every way. Soft and chewy in the center, with edges that are slightly more dense, leaving you with the perfect first bite. Let’s not forget about the chocolate chips, semi-sweet are my choice for the perfect cookie, because they help balance out the sweetness from the sugars.
I wanted to take my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and make it more holidayish. Y’all let me just say that these turned out very holidayish. 🙂 They are the perfect texture, the right amount of sweetness, and the cinnamon lends itself in such a way that makes the ordinary chocolate chip cookie a thing of my past. Seriously. I may never make plain chocolate chip cookies again. These are just that great.
Of course, don’t take my word for it. I made these cookies while Kelsie was having a sleepover. She and her friend loved these Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies. They may or may not have claimed them to be the best. 😉 You’ll just have to make them, and see for yourself.
I would also like to mention that they are just perfect with a glass of milk or eggnog! I’m not a milk fan, but Kayla is, and said said that they were a great dunkable cookie. I of course enjoy these dipped in eggnog, because the cinnamon pairs so well with it.
Whether you are enjoying these cookies with milk or with eggnog, I can assure you that Santa will enjoy them either way you serve them!
