Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies

Print Recipe

These chocolate snickerdoodle cookies combine the classic snickerdoodle with rich cocoa for a chocolatey twist. Expect tender, slightly chewy centers with crisp edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
  5. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Combine the 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping.
  8. Scoop tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and coat each in the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  9. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until edges are set and centers remain soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill dough to improve flavor and texture, and use high-quality parchment paper to prevent sticking.
