Okay, I know this isn't like me, but...

the oatmeal raisin cookie recipe on the back of the Hershey's cinnamon chips is incredible! Those little chips are full of hydrogenated crap that is no way good for anyone, and I normally would pass them by, but OMG! the cookies they make might just be worth it.

Make big ones and watch your spacing coz those bad boys spread pretty good in the oven. :9

1. That's a new one for me - I've never heard of cinnamon chips....

I may have to look for them the next time I go to the grocery store.

6. Try them at your own peril.

Caveat emptor! They are, like empress said, cookie crack. :hi:

2. I like mine chewy chewy chewy...so I use about any recipe as long as it has

milk in it

it seems, to me anyway, to be THE secret for great oatmeal raisin cookies...lots of recipes do not call for it at all.

4. These are very chewy

and I find the secret to keeping your cookies from getting too hard is to slightly, and I do mean very slightly, underbake them and leave them sit on the cookie sheet for one minute before removing. Then put them in an air-tight container on top of a piece of wax paper with a slice of bread under it. That bread slice is the clincher. It will be rock hard when all those scrumptiously chewy cookies are gone.

That being said, I like mine with crispy edges and chewy middles.

How ya doin, sweetie? Still have my fingers crossed for you on that farm deal. :hi:

7. Dad and I will be settling in a few weeks

our community was knee deep in a bicentennial that officially ended Saturday, and we were in the thick of it

Already have a field set aside for squash and pumpkins

8. Yaaaaaa!

Wish I were still up there to pitch in and help. Wishing you lots of success! :hug:

3. Give it up woman...Sometimes the Plastic just tastes good!

Those cinnamon chips are like crack. I use them in coffee cake and yes those Oatmeal Cookies have contributed to at least 5lbs on my butt. BTW--They are even better if you add a bag of chocolate chips to the mix along with the cinnamon chips. (Don't tell, but if I'm making a double batch I have also added those butterscotch chips to the mix too :wow: )

I'm making my green tomato mincemeat cookies next week so thanks for reminding me to pick those little gems up at the grocery this week.

5. Unfortunately, you are right

about it tasting good. But that kinda stuff only makes it into the house very rarely. Scratch baking is still the bomb and wins hands down!

:hi:

9. I couldn't find them at my supermarket

I was all ready to pick up a sack today plus anything else I needed but they didn't have the cinnamon chips. So I'm going to try Safeway. They can always get them for me but I was ready to-day!

Are they a mild flavor? I found a sweet potato cookie recipe that called for choco chips. I figure to substitute the cinnamon chips. That ought to be wildly good for the holidays.

:hi:

10. I don't think they are mild.

They seem to have a pretty strong flavor. Hope you can find them at Safeway.

Sweet potato cookies sound great and I think these chips would be perfect for them.

:hi:
