DROP: Chocolate Cinnamon Chip Chewies




Source of Recipe


Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor by Ann Byrn


List of Ingredients




vegetable cooking spray -- for misting the pans
1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix, plain -- (18.25 ounces)
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons butter -- (1/2 stick) melted
1 large egg
1 cup cinnamon chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans

--Cinnamon Chip Glaze--
2/3 cup cinnamon chips
1 1/2 teaspoons solid vegetable shortening

Recipe



Place a rack in the center of the oven preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly mist two cookie sheets with vegetable oil spray. Set the pans aside.

Place the cake mix, water, melted butter and egg in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 1 minute more. The dough will be smooth and thick. Fold in the cinnamon chips and the pecans until well distributed.

Drop heaping teaspoons of the dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Place the sheets in the oven. (If your oven cannot accommodate both cookie sheets on the centre rack, place one on the top rack and one on the centre rack and rotate them halfway through baking time.)

Bake the cookies until they have set but are still soft in the centre, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sheets from the oven. Let the cookies rest on the cookies sheets for 2 minutes. Then use a metal spatula to transfer them to wire racks and allow them to cool completely, 20 minutes.

Repeat the process with the remaining cookie dough.

Meanwhile, prepare the Cinnamon Chip Glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Store the cookies, wrapped in aluminum foil or an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 1 week. Or freeze them, wrapped in foil and placed in a freezer bag, for up to 3 months. Thaw the cookies overnight on the counter before serving. Makes: 4 dozen 2-inch cookies

CINNAMON CHIP GLAZE:
This easy glaze was developed by the Hershey's kitchens for their cinnamon chips. Drizzle it over the Chocolate Cinnamon Chip Chewies or the Mini German Chocolate Banana Loaves.

Place the cinnamon chips and the shortening in a small glass bowl in the microwave on high power. Heat until the chips have just melted, 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the oven and stir the glaze until it is smooth. Or melt the chips and shortening in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Drizzle the glaze with a dinner knife, or pour it into a clean plastic squirt bottle and squirt in squiggly lines over the cookies or cake. Makes enough for about 7 dozen cookies or 6 mini loaves.


NOTES:
The Cake Mix Doctor says... Do not use butter or margarine in this recipe -- only vegetable shortening.

From The Cake Doctor: The test kitchen at Hershey's concocted this recipe using the chocolate cookie I created with their new cinnamon chips mixed in. It's a winner. Cinnamon goes so well with chocolate, and these special cookies make a nice gift around the holidays. For an added touch, drizzle them with Cinnamon Chip Glaze.

.........Hershey's cinnamon chips should be in supermarketsnationwide by now. They come in a 10-ounce bag that yields 1 2/3 cups. Use 1 cup in the cookie dough, then use the remaining 2/3 cup to make the glaze.
