Delicious Chocolate Snickerdoodles Recipe for Cookies

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully heated for even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

    Use a hand mixer for best results.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

    Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; stop as soon as there are no dry spots.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between cookies as they will spread.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm.

    Cookies will continue to bake on the tray after removing from the oven.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
