As you know I popped into my local Cybercandy the other day, I got a little bit carried away with goodies but they have so many amazing and exciting things in there. When I came across these Cinnamon Bun Bites I knew I had to have some, the only question was, what would I bake them into?
The Cinnamon Bun Bites are described as bite sized cinnamon bun pieces in a white chocolatey coating, they are seriously yummy and smell amazing.
The only thing that tastes more like a Cinnamon Bun or Cinnabon than these cookies is an actual Cinnamon Bun! The gorgeous sugary cinnamon scent that fills the whole house when baking these cookies is now my favourite smell in the world.
I used my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe as my cookie base, exchanging the chocolate chips for Cinnamon Bun Bites and adding plenty of cinnamon of course. I chopped some of the Cinnamon Bun Bites in half and left others whole, I also sprinkled my cookies with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon sugar before baking.
A box of Cinnamon Bun Bites costs £2.42 at Cybercandy which admittedly makes these cookies a little pricier than most but it is totally worth it. I'm going to get a stash of Cinnamon Bun Bites so I can make a batch of these glorious cookies when ever the mood strikes.
Of course if you live in the U.S. you will be able to find Cinnamon Bun Bites really easily, in which case you have to make these immediately!
Chewy Cinnamon Bun Cookies
Recipe adapted from:
11/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup (11/3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup (11/3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 x 88g box Cinnamon Bun Bites
Preheat oven to 350F/170C
In a large bowl, combine the flour, the baking soda, and the salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and the vanilla and mix well.
Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls on to ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Makes 2-3 Dozen Cookies
I always bake my cookies for 10 minutes on the dot, 8 minutes if they're smaller but then I do like a chewy cookie, if you prefer a crisp cookie bake for 12 minutes.
I still have these left....
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cupcakes anyone?
