Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies


I made these Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies last week for our charity bake sale at work.  (I also made Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treats too which sold out first!)  I was happy that all my baked goods were sold out during the bake sale.  These Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies were delicious.  I love the taste of the cinnamon chips in these cookies and adding chocolate chips and craisins made the cookies even more awesome!  I mostly followed the recipe that was on the back of the Hershey's Cinnamon Chips bag, but of course I changed it up a bit to my taste.  These cookies will be great to share during the holidays, enjoy!


Oatmeal Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cinnamon chips
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup dried cranberries (I used Craisins.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a stand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy.


Add in eggs one at a time and vanilla.

In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda.   Slowly add to butter mixture, beating well.


Stir in oats, cinnamon chips, chocolate chips and dried cranberries.


Drop by heaping tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
