Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies
Description
These Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies are a decadent treat that combines the warmth of cinnamon with the deep richness of three types of chocolate. The dough is studded with milk chocolate chips and toasted walnuts, then baked until soft and chewy in the center. Once cooled, they are finished with an elegant zigzag drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate. Perfect for holiday gatherings, afternoon tea, or as a special gift for friends and family, these cookies offer a sophisticated twist on classic chocolate chip cookies. The addition of cinnamon adds a subtle aromatic warmth that complements the chocolate beautifully, making each bite a comforting and luxurious experience.Ingredients

Note
Ensure the melted semi-sweet chocolate is cooled slightly before adding to the wet ingredients to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor; spread them on a baking sheet and toast at 350F for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
To make vegan, substitute butter with vegan butter and eggs with flax eggs or commercial egg replacers. Ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
