This classic recipe for Snickerdoodle Chocolate Chip Cookies makes super soft, buttery cookies coated with cinnamon and sugar. They’re filled with chocolate and are rich, buttery, and delicious!
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream the butter and sugars until well combined (about 2 minutes). Mix in the eggs one at a time.
Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture gradually and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and a few crushed up pretzels (pretzels are optional). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Take the dough out of the fridge and scoop out a 1 tablespoon per cookie. Roll each cookie into a ball then roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Stick a few extra chocolate chips in the dough ball, if desired. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
