Secret Ingredient In Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
The real magic in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies is a kiss of cinnamon. Regular chocolate chip cookies don’t use it, and frankly, shouldn’t. (We’re die-hard traditionalists here.)
But oatmeal without cinnamon is just sad.Â
Do you wonder how cinnamon pairs with chocolate?
Amazingly!Â
Chefs and cooks have paired these two exquisite foods for millennia.
Cinnamon and chocolate together create a flavor combination that’s warm, rich, and comforting. The spiciness of cinnamon complements the sweetness of chocolate, adding a layer of complexity to the overall taste.Â
The key is to balance the amounts to avoid overpowering one flavor with the other, allowing them to enhance and elevate each other. Perfect harmony!Â
