Crispy Cinnamon Chip Cookies

These homemade Cinnamon Cookies are soft on the inside with a rich, buttery flavor and a slight crispy crunch.

Here in New Jersey we don't have a Publix supermarket. So when we go to Florida, my girls would always get two things: fried chicken and toffee cookies. 

I set out to make them myself one day recently; however, after I had gathered all ingredients I realized I had cinnamon chips and not toffee bits. Cinnamon Cookies it is!

These cookies are FANTASTIC and personally I like them better. After all, doesn't everything taste better with cinnamon?

The cookies are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside with a secret ingredient to make them a little crunchy too.

Let me tell you, these Cinnamon Cookies did not last long at all they were THAT good!

This recipe makes 42 cookies; which can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.

You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Ingredients Needed

For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients: 

  • Salted Butter (room temperature)
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Cinnamon Chips
  • Rice Cereal

I used salted butter in this recipe. If you use unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the dough. 

How do you make Cinnamon Cookies?

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl; then beat with an electric mixer until combined. 

Beat in the egg and vanilla; then add the flour and baking soda and cinnamon and mix until dough forms.

Fold in the cinnamon chips and cereal with a spoon; then chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheets leaving 2-inches between each; then bake 10-12 minutes until the edges are crisp and centers are set. 

Allow to rest 2 minutes on the pan; then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing.
