Sparkly Chocolate Snickerdoodles Recipes

SPARKLY CHOCOLATE SNICKERDOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer affixed with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the the butter and 1 cup sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and the vanilla; mix well.
• Place a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl and sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat on low speed just until combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon until combined.
• Roll dough into approx. 1-inch balls (I use a cookie scoop). Add the balls to the bowl with the cinnamon and sugar and roll until well-covered. Set about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake until set and lightly browned, about 9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cookies keep well at room temperature in an airtight container (3-4 days). They also freeze well.

SNICKERDOODLE PARTY COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Scrape into the bowl of a stand mixer. Let brown butter cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, 1 1/2 tsp. cardamom, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a medium bowl.
• Add brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to brown butter. Fit bowl onto stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until thick, about 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to mix just until smooth, about 1 minute longer. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients; beat until nearly combined. Add Skor bars and beat just long enough to bring dough together (it will be a little loose). Cover and let rest 5-10 minutes to let flour hydrate (dough will thicken).
• Place cornflakes in a small bowl. Mix remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp. cardamom, and 1 tsp. cinnamon in another small bowl. Working one at a time, scoop out 2-tablespoonfuls of dough (they don't need to be perfect balls) and toss in cornflakes to coat well; squeeze lightly to adhere. Move to bowl with spiced sugar and toss to coat. Divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 3" apart.
• Bake cookies, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until edges are set, 13-16 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets. Brush with gold dust if desired.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be baked 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Remove 2 tablespoons of mixture to second small bowl; reserve.
• In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, softened butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Flatten each ball to 2 1/2-inch circle. Press 1 chocolate into center of each cookie, making sure to form dough around chocolate to enclose; reshape into balls. Roll in remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheets. Discard sugar-cinnamon mixture after rolling balls.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set and light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Sprinkle reserved 2 tablespoons sugar-cinnamon mixture on tops of warm cookies. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
