Chocolate Cinnamon Mud Balls Recipes

MUD COOKIES - AKA - CHOCOLATE NO BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine butter, cocoa, sugar, and milk in a large saucepan.
• Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer for one minute stirring constantly.
• Add vanilla and peanut butter mixing well.
• Stir in oats.
• Quickly drop onto waxed paper by the spoonful or desired amount.
• Let cool and enjoy.
• Do not under or over cook ingredients in saucepan. Once oats are stirred in drop onto wax paper immediately. I do not suggest in double batching this particular recipe.

CHOCOLATE-CINNAMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Mix in cocoa powder until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and cinnamon.
• Drop hazelnut-sized balls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

CINNAMON-CHOCOLATE CHIP BUTTERBALLS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and the salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla (mixture will be crumbly).
• Using hands, shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 1 inch apart.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• In small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll cookies in sugar mixture, shaking off excess back into bowl. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
