Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Description
Chocolate Snickerdoodles blend all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt into a cookie dough enriched with butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. After mixing the dry and wet ingredients, the dough is rolled into balls and coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture before baking.
The cookies bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until set around the edges but soft in the center, leaving a tender texture with slightly crisp edges. The cinnamon sugar coating provides a sweet, spicy crust contrasting with tender, chocolate-flavored interiors, capturing the hallmark snickerdoodle flavor with added cocoa depth.
Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring helps the cookies maintain shape and texture. These treats serve well as a comforting dessert or snack combining traditional cinnamon with chocolate richness.
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

- 1 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and turn the mixer on low. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- Form the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons per cookie. Roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
