Red Hot Cookies

Who doesn’t love cinnamon during the Holidays?  With these cookies I originally wanted to make a cinnamon cookie with cinnamon chips but I could not find cinnamon chips anywhere!  I was so discouraged and about to throw in the towel. 🙁

But then I happened to be walking down the candy aisle looking for Andes mints for another cookie I’ll be sharing soon & I saw them.  All the way on the top shelf they were sitting there calling out to me!
RED HOTS!!

I honestly had no idea if this was going to work at all but hey, that’s part of the fun of baking right?  Trial & error!  These cookies ended up pleasantly surprising me.  They had just the right pop of cinnamon from the red hots.  The candy did firm back up a little once the cookies cooled down but it never went back to it’s original state.  It was just a nice chewy cinnamon piece in the cookies.

  1. Those cookies are delicious. I made them for Christmas and everyone loved them. unfortunately the cinnamon candies i used are diferent from those you used ( in Greece we dont have Red Hots) but still great.

  2. These look really good and would be good for Valentine’s Day too. I know what you mean about the cinnamon chips being hard to find – I finally found some at Walmart though.
