Cinnamon chips and a maple glaze add fabulous flavor. When I make these, the kitchen smells like Christmas. The glaze fancies them up a bit. —Lyndi Pilch, Springfield, Missouri

I handed this recipe to my 10 year old and told him to make it. I assume he made it exactly as written. They were SOOOOOO good! They are like a cross between coffee cake and cookie bars. Cinnamon chips can be hard to find. When I went to Minnesota on vacation, I bought 8 bags at Cub Foods!

These straight out of the oven are 5 star. The next day, they were only 4 star. But the smell when I opened the can the next morning was divine.
