Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Ever since I ordered these fancy (and melt-in-your-mouth delicious) cinnamon chips over at the Prepared Pantry, I’ve been waiting to find a great recipe to take advantage of them.  After a little thinking, I thought I could make a variation on the mint chocolate chip cookies that used a store bought sugar cookie mix (which I just happened to have in my pantry) – mixes like these are a great time saver and good way to try new things like this with confidence that the results will be a success.

You’ll need:

• 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons vanilla (or vanilla bean paste)
• 1 egg
• 1.5 cups of cinnamon chips

Preheat your oven to 350.  Combine the cookie mix, butter, vanilla, and egg until a soft dough forms.

Stir in your cinnamon chips.

Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and roll into balls.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet (or you can use wax paper).

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Delicious!  Would be good with a little frosting on top too.
