Key Substances
- Flour: I take advantage of all-purpose flour. Some bakers love utilizing bread flour to make their cookies chewier. If you wish to experiment with it, the dough can be drier, so think about including a tablespoon or two of milk.
- Cream of Tartar: That is the important thing to what units snickerdoodles aside from different cookies. This acidic powder provides snickerdoodles their signature tangy taste and chewy texture. I don’t advocate leaving it out. I purchase it within the spice aisle of the grocery retailer.
- Baking Soda: It helps our cookies rise. It reacts to the cocoa powder and cream of tartar on this recipe.
- Butter: It’s the explanation these cookies style so unbelievable. Should you use salted butter, take away the salt referred to as for within the recipe under. The butter must be at room temperature for this recipe.

- Eggs: They add moisture and enhance the flavour of our cookie dough. Room-temperature eggs are greatest. Should you neglect to take them out beforehand, place them in a bowl of lukewarm water for a couple of minutes.
- Chocolate Chips: For this recipe, use your favourite chocolate. I’ve used semi-sweet chocolate chips within the images, however milk, darkish, and even white chocolate are all nice. You too can chop your favourite chocolate bar as a substitute of utilizing chips.
- Cinnamon Sugar: It’s simple to make your cinnamon sugar by mixing granulated sugar with floor cinnamon. I make mine fairly heavy on the cinnamon. The ratio is shared within the recipe under. You probably have any leftovers, think about stirring it into oatmeal the following day!
How you can Make Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Like classic snickerdoodles, these chocolate cookies start by beating butter and sugar till fluffy. Eggs are added, after which we beat in a mix of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and a few salt.
The cream of tartar and baking soda puff up the cookies within the oven and deflate simply sufficient to make these crinkly tops seen within the picture. The cream of tarter additionally provides a welcomed tanginess that cuts by the wealthy mixture of butter, sugar, and cocoa powder.

I really like including numerous chocolate chips, after which we chill the dough for not less than half-hour. I do know chilling cookie dough is a bummer, and I completely get why you need cookies proper now, however I promise it’s value it. Thirty minutes will do the trick, however you may truly hold this dough (wrapped nicely) within the fridge for as much as 3 days!
Whereas it chills, the flour can take up moisture from the eggs and butter. The dough additionally corporations up just a little making it simple to roll into balls for baking.


As soon as chilled, we make cinnamon sugar (heavy on the cinnamon) and roll the dough balls round till nicely coated. Then we bake the cookies till they’ve puffed just a little and the tops look set. As they cool, the puffed cookies fall a bit again into themselves, however that’s what creates the distinctive crinkly tops and chewy texture. They’re so good!
