Toffee Chip Snickerdoodles

By Addie

Classic Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie ever. So I’m often whipping up different kinds of Snickerdoodly things. This Snickerdoodle cookie is stuffed with toffee chips and chocolate chips. They turn out to have a crispy exterior and a tender, chewy center. They’re pretty much your standard Snickerdoodle cookie with a good dose of toffee and chocolate in every bite. If you like the flavor of cinnamon and chocolate together, I think you’ll enjoy these. And they freeze well, of course :)

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. In a separate, small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of sugar and the cinnamon; set both bowls aside.

3. In a large bowl, use electric mixer to beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar until blended together (about 1 minute). Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until blended (about 1 minute). Add flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and toffee pieces.

4. Scoop out a heaping Tablespoonful of dough and use your hands to roll it into a ball. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining dough. Place cookies 3 inches apart on the cookie sheets (I baked 8 at a time and found that was perfect).

5. Bake cookies until edges are golden, centers are still golden and no longer look raw in the middle- about 16 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Tips:

*If you don't have access to Heath candy bars- you can always use packaged toffee bits or some other kind of toffee candy bar.
