Twisted Chocolate Chip Cookies

This twisted chocolate chip cookie recipe is a little different from the average classic. It's thin and chewy and has a few additions you'll love. It also makes about 6 dozen cookies. Perfect for a cookie swap or bakesale event.

A few years back my sister gave me this recipe for chocolate chip cookies which I have tweaked to my liking and I thought it would be a good one to share on the blog.

My daughter gave me the idea to call it "Twisted" because it's rooted in a typical chocolate chip recipe with a few twists.  The primary one is adding cinnamon and nutmeg which gives them a nice spice flavor.

As an added bonus, this recipe makes 4-6 dozen cookies, making it a great one for a bake sale, cookie swap or whenever you have many mouths to feed.

Also, it's pretty adaptable so you can change it up by reducing some of the oatmeal or using different types of nuts. 

You could also substitute raisins for the chocolate but I don't know why anyone would want to do that.
