- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12-ounce package)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix in the nuts and chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If using a tablespoon, make sure to use a rounded spoonful of dough.
- Bake until lightly brown, about 9-11 minutes. Don’t overbake the cookies or they will be dry.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make sure the cookies are completely cool before storing them. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. Or you can store them in the freezer in airtight freezer bags for up to 3 months.
