Fireman's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

OMG OMG OMG Jenn made these again last night with just a minor "addition" to the original recipe found on allrecipes.com.  She added a little cinnamon to the batter that gave it a wonderful "warm and earthy" flavor that just upped the I want value of these cookies.  Now the question is - can I get her to leave some home when she goes back to school on Wednesday.  I really can't believe its time for the semester to begin again but alas it is.  Her roommates are going to be enjoying these when they come back (she's such a good roommate)  If you are looking for a good cookie recipe ... this is it!  I mean chocolate chips, toffee are perfect together ... add a nice mug of coffee and you are ready to close out the world and say good night!

I know they don't look any different than any other of the thousands of chocolate chip cookies but perhaps it is the toffee but they really are so much different in taste - and then when she added the cinnamon - it was a POP of flavor that just hit the spot
