CINNAMON CHIP COOKIES

“As Tax Day approaches and I search through my wallet for spare change, I figured it was appropriate to serve up some leftover ingredients for ‘Cookie of the Week.’  This cookie takes full advantage of the half-a-bag of cinnamon chips sitting in my kitchen.  I admit that I had some trouble with these cookies.  Some would burn on the outside, but be underdone inside.  Others were golden outside, but far too crispy.  Very hard to get just right, just like my taxes.  They were however tasty, unlike attempts I have made to eat my TurbTax update CD.  Oh well, you live, you learn, you pay your taxes, you bake your cookies.  That’s life.”
