I love cinnamon chips, and this is an intriguing way to use them. Make sure to stock up on them during the holiday season. —Marietta Slater, Justin, Texas

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
DOUGH:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt
1 package (10 ounces) cinnamon baking chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. For spiced sugar, mix first 6 ingredients.
In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar and 2 tablespoons spiced sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in baking chips. Refrigerate, covered, until firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in remaining spiced sugar. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake until set, 11-13 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Test Kitchen tips

The texture is soft and crisp at the same time, just like a regular snickerdoodle, but spiced sugar mixture and cinnamon chips take these to a new level.
