How to Make Cinnamon Chip Surprise Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans).
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Roll the ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Place the dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  11. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
