Cinnamon and Chocolate Chip Cookies

This chocolate chip cookie is my favourite one and i make this quite often. These cookies are rich, soft and chewy inside and crispy on outside.These are made with butter, both brown and white sugar, flour,egg and  chocolate chips.I have added a light spicy touch to the regular chocolate chips cookies by adding cinnamon to it. These are easy to make and a perfect treat for everyone. Enjoy these cookies with a glass of cold milk.

Just made these cookies specially for my neighbour's cute little daughter Nithu, who is a chocolate cookie lover. Once i gave her some chocolate cookies, since then whenever she want some cookies, she comes to me and ask 'Aunty bake some cookies for me' and that too she love to have chocolate in it. I baked these cookies for her and her friends and everyone enjoyed and when asked for some photos to click, they were happy and they gave cute pose with cookies to click.
