Spicy Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are loaded with oats and spices to make it a most fabulous cookie! It should be noted that although they are called “spicy” cookies, they actually aren’t spicy in terms of heat. They just have lots of spice in them like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Oh, and there are cinnamon chips in the cookie too. Are you familiar with cinnamon chips? They’re just like chocolate chips but are made out of cinnamon. Hersheys makes them, so you can usually find them with the chocolate chips at places like Target or Walmart. If your market doesn’t have them, ask the manager to start ordering them. They’re that good!! You can also order cinnamon chips on Amazon.

These cookies are a sturdy cookie that is perfect for dunking in milk! I like to use quick cooking oats for these cookies. You can use the old fashioned variety of oats, but the cookies will have a bit of a tougher texture.

The Best Oatmeal Cookie Recipes:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and shortening. Mix in the sugars, molasses, vanilla and eggs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except for chips). Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until ingredients are blended. Stir in the cinnamon chips.
Place spoonfuls of cookie dough on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies no longer appear raw-looking in the middle. They will still be soft and tender, so let them cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
