Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed.

  3. Add the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla, and mix on low speed. The mixture will look lumpy.

  4. Separately, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture by spoonfuls, mixing just until the dough comes together and all the flour is incorporated.

You could likely use arrowroot in its place! Let us know what you try and your results! 😁

I was actually planning to make your high altitude Snickerdoodles, when I saw the link for the chocolate ones. I decided to make them, as something different for my quilt guild’s cookie exchange. What a huge hit! Several people asked me for the recipe! These will become a regular treat in my house from here on!

Chris ★ 5.0/5

I can’t have corn starch. Is it ok to leave it out or substitute it with something else? Thank you.

Megan Toney ★ 5.0/5

These cookies are delicious. Perfectly soft and a great thickness! I haven't made anything of yours that wasn't amazing!
