I love snickerdoodles, so I knew I would like the chocolate ones. Outstanding cookie!
My husband and grandchilren just love snickerdoodles, so I was very excited to try this recipe for chocolate ones. They got rave reviews from everybody!!
Very disappointed, taste was so-so and they baked pretty much the way they were placed on the baking sheet, didn’t flatten at all the way snickerdoodles usually do, so you get a very small, round cookie.
These are just TOO yummy! I did add about 2 tablespoons of milk as the batter seemed too dry, but these cookies are amazing. They go down altogether too easily!
I roll the dough in a ball, roll it around the cinnamon sugar and then with 2 fingers, lightly depress it to make it slightly flat. This cookie has won raves from family and friends! It’s also really easy to make and doesn’t take a whole lot of time.
