Ghiradelli Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodles Recipes

CHOCOLATE SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups white sugar, shortening, and eggs with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy.
• Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa power, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold this mixture into the egg mixture until well blended.
• Mix together 1/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
• Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls; cover each in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until soft and golden on top, 6 to 8 minutes, making sure they do not burn. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack. The tops will crack as they cool.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
• Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or you may use a hand mixer). Once the mixture is creamed and fluffy, mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth, then mix in the baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Slowly mix in flour until the mixture is just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
• Place remaining 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir.
• Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough and roll them in the cinnamon sugar, then place them 2" apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms just start to turn golden brown. (These taste better if you err on the side of under rather than over done). Cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheet before removing.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
