Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Cookies

By á-3347

My two favorite cookies are snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies. Combining the two was genius! These cookies were nice and crispy on the outside and had a buttery soft center.

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 c sifted all purpose flour
• 2 tsp cream of tarter
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 c soft butter or margarine (2 sticks)
• 1 1/2 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 10 oz bag of ghiradelli (60% cacao) bittersweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

My parents came to help out during my last 8 treatments of radiation in my fight against breast cancer so I wanted to bake some cookies. My daddy loves snickerdoodles and my husband loves chocolate so I combined the two and oh my they were fantastic and gone in no time!

1 Combine the first 4 ingredients in a separate bowl.

2 In a stand up mixer or separate bowl cream your butter/margarine, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

3 Next slowly add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture until dough like. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill for an hour or so. This makes the rolling of the dough easier.

4 You will need some cinnamon and sugar to roll the cookie dough in. (I always have this made up and kept on hand). Take sugar about 1/4 cup and then add a tsp or so of cinnamon to it in a small bowl or plastic container. Set aside.

5 Once the dough is chilled, take a heaping tablespoon full and roll in a ball with your hands, roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper then on an ungreased cookie sheet.

6 Bake in a 350° preheated oven ( convection oven) . 8 to 9 minutes for a soft gooey cookie or 10 minutes for a firm cookie. My daddy likes firm cookies. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container. Mine didn't make it to a container.
