BROWN BUTTER SNICKERDOODLES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE



Brown Butter Snickerdoodles with White Chocolate image

Toasty brown butter and coarsely chopped white chocolate give traditional snickerdoodle cookies a decadent upgrade in this wow-worthy recipe. Preparing and cooling brown butter requires a little more time--but the rich, nutty flavor is so worth it. In addition to their incredible flavor, these snickerdoodles have a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth consistency, thanks to the cream cheese in the dough. You'll definitely want to bookmark this one for the holidays, but don't be surprised if you come back to these next-level snickerdoodles all year long.

Time 2h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup unsalted butter
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, coarsely chopped
⅓ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Melt butter for cookies in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour butter and any browned bits into a small bowl.
  • Place in the refrigerator until butter resolidifies but is still soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove brown butter from the refrigerator and place in a large mixing bowl. Add cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add white and brown sugars; beat until combined and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes more. Mix in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract at medium speed until incorporated.
  • Whisk flour, cream of tartar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined, and adding chocolate in with the last bit of flour.
  • Whisk sugar and cinnamon for coating together in a shallow dish.
  • Scoop cookie dough into 1 1/2- to 2-tablespoon portions and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball in the coating and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE SNICKERDOODLES (VEGAN)



Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles (Vegan) image

These yummy chocolate cookies are a little different in that they are spiced up with a little cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Quite a nice match actually. :) They are originally from the book Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowith and Terry Hope Romero. I hope you and your vegan friends are going to enjoy them as much as we did.

Categories     Dessert

Time 22m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup oil (canola is specified in the book, but any neutral oil will do)
1 cup sugar (I used unrefined cane sugar)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (I used vanilla oat milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract (I used more vanilla as I could not find it)
1 2/3 cups flour (I used spelt flour)
1/2 cup unsweetend cocoa powder (I think carob powder would work well, too)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or try chili powder)

Steps:

  • Mix the topping ingredients on a large dinner plate. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, syrup and milk using a fork. You have to stir quite vigorously to get them all combined nicely.
  • Add the extracts.
  • In a second bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and spices). Add them to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mix until you have a pliable dough. If it is too wet add a tad more flour, if its too dry add a tad more milk.
  • Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place them on a paper-lined baking sheet. Use your palm to flatten them into about 2 inch disks. In the book it says to leave at least 2 inches space between the cookies as they will spread, however mine did not spread very much.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should crackle on top.
  • Remove from the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire-rack to cool completely.

GHIRADELLI CHOCOLATE CHIP SNICKERDOODLES!



Ghiradelli Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodles! image

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.

Provided by Dana Ramsey

Categories     Chocolate

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

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
cinnamon and sugar to roll the cookie dough in.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • 2. In a standup 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. 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.
  • 7. Just a little story: After baking these cookies I placed them cookies on a redware dish I had and took them out to my daddy to see if he wanted some, well I had to run into the house and completely forgot about the cookies, my momma came in with an empty plate and said my daddy wanted a refill! Holy Cow he ate those cookies in less than 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband only got 2 of those cookies! Needless to say I made another batch. In all reality this batch makes approximately 3 dozen cookies plenty for sharing unless your daddy is a "Cookie Monster"!

CHOCOLATE SNICKERDOODLES



Chocolate Snickerdoodles image

Two cookies in one!

Provided by Jennette Canto

Categories     Chocolate

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 c flour
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, room temperature
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • 3. Add eggs and vanilla.
  • 4. Add dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
  • 5. Roll dough into balls. Place the balls onto two parchment lined baking sheets.
  • 6. Bake in a 400 degrees oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly chewy and soft cookie, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to develop the flavor and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough balls in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking to give them a classic snickerdoodle flavor. You can also add other spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F/175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them to set and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Chocolate snickerdoodles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these classic cookies that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this chocolate snickerdoodle recipe a try!
