In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy, at least 3 minutes.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla.
On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture (or stir in by hand) and cinnamon chips until well combined.
Chill dough for an hour or so, then use a tablespoon-sized scoop or shape into 1-inch balls.
