Two Peas and Their Pod: Cinnamon Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

Tuesday, October 07, 2008

Cinnamon Toffee Oatmeal Cookies



Last week a grocery store had Hershey's chocolate chips on sale for 70 cents a bag. Sure, you had to buy ten bags but that was not an issue for me. The more chocolate in the house the better! Plus the holidays are coming up and I know I will be baking a ton. I purchased semi-sweet, milk chocolate, peanut butter, and cinnamon chips. I am stocked!

I decided to open a bag of the cinnamon chips and make a batch of cookies. Cinnamon is the perfect flavor for fall. I started out with my favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. I added a pinch of cinnamon and the chips and then I discovered a couple of Heath bars in the freezer so I chopped those up and threw them in too. The end results...a most excellent cookie! They were crisp but still a little chewy. The toffee melted nicely in between the oatmeal and the cinnamon chips gave them the perfect pop! I will for sure make these again...and again!







Cinnamon Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

(Print Recipe)

½ c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1 1/4 c. flour
Dash of cinnamon
1 1/4 c. oats
Cinnamon chips- your guess is as good as mine!
2 Heath bars-chopped

Beat butter in mixer until soft. Add in sugars, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, soda, flour, and dash of cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients. Mix it up! Add your oats and then your chips and Heath chunks.

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes! Don’t let them get too done…they are better when they are soft!

I scaled this down so it makes about 2 dozen or so! Feel free to double it for more cookies!

You are so right. Cinnamon is a natural for the Fall. I put it in my coffee while it's brewing now :)
I could use a few of those wonderful cookies to dunk.

You have some willpower! I could never have 10 bags of chips in my house. I'd eat them before I could bake a thing.

Wow 70 cents a bag! The Hersheys chocolate chips are $3-$4 here. I definitely would have bought 10, or 20.
My family likes soft cookies too, so comforting.

I just bought a bag of cinnamon chips! I hadn't seen them before, but probably because I wasn't looking. So excited that now I have a recipe to try them out with.

That is an awesome deal on chip! Great idea to be stocked for the holidays. Do you believe they're slowly coming up already?

I'll def try this recipe, as soon as I find cinnamon chips. I'll probably like them more than their chocolate counterparts
