When these were ready, my husband couldn’t resist and ate 6 all by himself!

How to Make These Irresistible Treats:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent your treats from sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. This combination of ingredients forms the backbone of the dough, giving it the right structure and a touch of spice to complement the other flavors.

3. Cream the Butter and Eggs:

In a separate, larger bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together. Beat them until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—about 2 minutes. Then, add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely aromatic flavor.

4. Add the Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this ensures that the treats will stay light and tender.

5. Fold in the Mix-ins:

Now, fold in your chocolate chips (or whatever mix-ins you’ve chosen). Gently stir until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. This is where you can really get creative—if you want to add some variety, try a mix of dark chocolate and white chocolate chips, or even some chopped nuts for crunch.

6. Shape and Bake:

Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them out so they have room to spread as they bake. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

7. Cool and Serve:

Let the treats cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Once they’ve cooled, they’ll be ready to devour!
