Snickerdoodle Cookies with Expresso Chips
Sweeten up your day with these classic snickerdoodle cookies that have a delicious expresso chip twist.
As if snickerdoodle cookies weren’t good enough on their own, they’re even better when expresso chips are added to the mix.
Expresso chips (morsels) aren’t particularly sweet but each morsel packs quite a bit of expresso flavor that tastes wonderful in combination with the cinnamon in these snickerdoodles.
Snickerdoodle cookies are great when making spur of the moment cookies because the ingredients are basic pantry items…except for maybe the cream of tartar.
So, what better reason to add cream of tartar as a regular pantry item for those times when out of nowhere, homemade cookie cravings take over.
Snickerdoodle cookies are especially scrumptious when dipped in milk too.
Not that I’ve ever done that before or anything.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Butter, granulated sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon and…
…expresso morsels.
