Hands down my favorite homemade cookies are oatmeal cookies. I don’t want chocolate chips. I don’t want raisins. Just hand over an oatmeal cookie and I am golden. That being said, when I came across Hershey’s Cinnamon Baking Chips I just KNEW I had to add them to my Classic Oatmeal Cookies and thus Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies were born!
Hershey’s Cinnamon Baking Chips might be the BEST baking chip since the chocolate chip! They’re seriously cinnamon greatness wrapped up into a baking chip. If you LOVE cinnamon you will love these cinnamon baking chips and if you LOVE oatmeal cookies then these bad boys will have you positively giddy!!
And no, I do not work with/for Hershey’s, but I wouldn’t complain if they wanted to hit me up either! 😉
These delish oatmeal cinnamon cookies are the perfect marriage of oatmeal cookie goodness and cinnamon. I’ve been known to load oatmeal cookies up good with cinnamon hence the heaping teaspoon added to this cookie recipe. The addition of the cinnamon chips really adds to the awesomeness. You’ll love them!
I apologize for getting SO excited over these cookies; it’s just they are My. Favorite. Cookies.
These scrumptious cookies are also wonderful because they are soft and chewy. The key is to NOT over-bake them. You’ll want to bake them for 8-10 minutes depending on how accurate your oven temperature is. Personally, 9 minutes is pure perfection.
If you have spreading issues, or cannot bake your cookies immediately this cookie dough also refrigerates beautifully. You may refrigerate your cookie dough for an hour and up to 72 hours; if you take this route increase your baking time to 9-11 minutes.
Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies are easy to bake, wonderfully soft and chewy, and are pleasantly cinnamon. They’ll make a GREAT addition to your go-to-cookie-baking-list!!
And now back to our regular scheduled oatmeal cookie obsession, oatmeal cookie dough is my fav too! What’s your favorite cookie dough to eat?

Can substitute butter flavored Crisco for butter?
Sarah says
Hi Sheila! I wouldn’t recommend using Crisco instead of butter, as I haven’t tested it and can’t say how it will affect the recipe. It will likely result in a denser cookie with less flavor. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out. Thanks & Happy Baking!
Tonia says
Hi
Can I substitute with white chocolate chips. I live in South Africa where we don't get Hersheys.
Sarah says
Hi Tonia, They would obviously be a different cookie, but you could substitute cinnamon chips for white chocolate chips. Thanks & Happy Baking!
Susan says
Thanks - I just was getting started on this about to mix the butter and sugar and it is unsalted butter - will that be okay ?
Sarah says
Perfect, that's what it calls for! 🙂
Susan Murphree says
can the oatmeal cinnamon chip cookies be frozen after baking and have cooled down?
Sarah says
Hi Susan, I am the baker that doesn't advocate for freezing baked goods of any kind. I just believe it's always better fresh from the oven. I know LOTS of bakers do freeze and so yes, once they are completely cooled you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container or bag. That being said, I haven't actually done it myself but there is nothing in them that wouldn't allow you to do so. Thanks & Happy Baking!
B W says
Sure want to try this recipe. Do you think these cookies would be too dry/hard if I substituted Coconut Oil for the butter? Lactose intolerant.
Sarah says
Hi B W. I would love to help you out but unfortunately, I have no idea what would happen if you substituted with coconut oil. I definitely think it will be different, but how I couldn't say. If you try it, please let me know it turns out. Sorry, I couldn't be any help.
Reb says
These are my favorite...but I am trying some with dried blueberries. I love bel vita blueberry breakfast cookies the other day and decided to try these.
Sarah says
Sounds awesome, Reb. Let me know how they turn out with the dried blueberries! 🙂
Erin @ Thanks for Cookin'! says
Ok now this is just genius! I love plain oatmeal cookies too without the extras but cinnamon chips would be the perfect mix-in! Yum! I gotta look for some cinnamon chips on my next grocery run 🙂
Sarah says
Erin - Thank you! The cinnamon chips definitely proved to be an excellent addition! I hope you're able to pick some up and try these. They're worth it!
