The Maple Cinnamin Chip Cookie

I am a mother of three of which two of my children are autistic. As challenging as it may be, there is one common thread my older autsitic son (Jake) and I have, and that is the joy of baking. It is through baking that Jake and I can connect. He can express his creativity as well as relieve his anxiety. When I heard about this contest Jake and I both agreed that I need to submit my family favorite: the maple cinnamin chip cookie recipe.. It is with great pleasure that I will share with you our recipe this is what we enjoy most!
