Chocolate Snickerdoodles
My whole family loves to eat Traditional Snickerdoodles, and for those of us who also love to eat chocolate, Chocolate Snickerdoodles are the ultimate combination!
Preheat oven to 375.
Combine sugar and butter in a mixing bowl.
Once the mixture is nice and smooth, add the eggs and vanilla.
Beat or mix again until a smooth consistency.
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.
Slowly stir those into the butter mixture
until the cookie dough is well mixed.
Mix the sugar and cocoa powder for the topping either in a bowl or on a plate.
