Oatmeal Cookies with Cinnamon Chips and Walnuts
Monday, November 10, 2008 by Pam
I've been hearing about cinnamon chips for awhile thanks to Jenny at Picky Palate. I looked for months but never found them. Last week I was in a random grocery store and saw them on the shelf. I scooped up a couple of bags and envisioned oatmeal, walnut and cinnamon chip cookies. My kids and I started baking once we got home. I adapted the recipe from the back of the cinnamon chip bag. The cookies smelled so good while they were baking and they tasted amazing fresh from the oven - I loved them dipped in ice cold milk. Not only were these cookies really good to eat they were also easy to make. This recipe makes a small batch of cookies, perfect for a family of four. I am looking forward to more tasty treats using these little cinnamon chips.- 1/2 cup of butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/6 cup of white sugar (or 2 tbsp and 1 1/2 tsp)
- 1 egg
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups of flour
- 1/2 tsp backing soda
- Dash of nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cup of quick cooking oats
- 3/4 cup of cinnamon chips
- 3/4 cups of walnut pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda and nutmeg; add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in oats, cinnamon chips and walnut pieces.
Drop by heaping teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

Ohhhhhhh, I am SUCH a cinnamon lover! I can't wait to try these! Hope I can find the chips somewhere!
I have never seen those chips before but will be on the hunt. How about combining chocolate chips and cinnamon chips - oh yeah, I've got to find those...
Hmmmmm...I smell the cookies too! Can I have some?
These sound great, but I haven't seen cinnamon chips either. What exactly are they, please? Are they literally chips of cinnamon stick (doubt it??) or is it a chipped cinnamon mixture? Would love to find out.....Fiona
cinnamon chips? i am on gonna see if i can find them in my neck of woods.
Your cookies look so yummy. I've been hearing a lot about cinnamon chips too. I want to give them a try.
I could practically smell these as I was reading your post. I finally found the chips also. Too bad it was the last bag at the store so I could only get one.
I've never had cinnamon chips before, but I've heard good things about them. Your cookies look great.
cinnamon and oatmeal just go together. I could eat these for breakfast
ohhh. i've been wanting to try cinnamon chips for awhile, too. i was thinking about putting them in a snickerdoodle type cookie. these look lovely - i love the walnuts!
Pretty amazing huh? I had to go to the hersheys website and find a store that sold them locally!
Fiona (recipes2share),
I wasn't sure what they were either. They are Hershey's Cinnamon Chips. They look just like chocolate chips but they taste like cinnamon. They are really tasty!
These really look great and I will keep an eye out at the store for them or do what Cheryl did and go to the hersheys web site..
You can bring those cookies to visit me any time!
I have only been able to find the mini cinnamon chips - and then in a little off the wall store. Were these chewy or crispy?
I have heard about cinnamon chips a lot too and have yet to find them at my local grocery, your cookies look amazing :-)
I am not sure about cinnamon chips. Can I use powdered cinnamon?
Ed would love these cookies, his all time favorite is oatmeal cookies and he loves those cinnamon chips.
Cilantro,
Yes, you can use ground cinnamon. Start with a 1/2 teaspoon, mix thouroughly then taste. Add more if you like a stronger cinnamon flavor.
Those cookies look good!! Oh how I wish I could find those cinnamon chips.... no luck yet ; (
