Fall is on its way, and fall always makes me think of cinnamon. So, I thought I would share my Mexican Hot Chocolate Cinnamon Chip Cookies with you. Cinnamon chips are not available all year where I live, but they should be showing up again soon. Last year, I bought several bags to last me throughout the year.
This may sound odd to say about a cookie, but these cookies have a really complex flavor. To get the best taste, eat them slowly and see how the cocoa, cinnamon, brown sugar, and cayenne come together.
