I always, always forget about Snickerdoodle cookies.
Why you may ask? Well, because there’s no chocolate in them. Obviously.
I mean seriously, if I’m going to make a cookie, it better have chocolate in it. Or if it doesn’t, I better be able to add chocolate to it. Peanut butter cookies? Is there chocolate in them? No? Then I think I’ll pass. With the exception of Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies of course. Although you could very easily add chocolate to this recipe. Dare I say it would be even better?
The funny thing, is that I love snickerdoodles. Cinnamon-sugar is my next love. What’s the first? Chocolate of course. Have you not been paying attention?
A few weeks ago I shared a recipe for Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. What I didn’t share is that I also made a batch of Snickerdoodle cookies. But not just any Snickerdoodles. They are Snickerdoodles covered in toffee bits.
Toffee, probably my third favorite love.
I may never go back to regular Snickerdoodles again. Unless of course I’m out of toffee {or don’t have time to make my own toffee}. I’d addicted to that little bit of sweet crunch mixed in with the cinnamon-sugar. It’s heaven in a cookie. If cookies weren’t allowed to have chocolate in them in heaven.
And if they aren’t, it can’t really be heaven, now can it?
