Chocolate Covered Snickerdoodles

If you are not familiar with this delicious sugar cookie, it is basically just a very simple flour, butter, sugar and egg dough rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked. It is very popular in the US and Germany. I know you didn’t need to know that, but hey, snickerdoodles for the win!

I wanted mine to be delicate and crispy, and it pretty much came out that way. You can roll bigger dough balls if you want for a more fluffy and chewy center. Either way, they are do die for, and unbelievably easy!

I have to say, any cookie with added cinnamon gets me very excited. Be careful when you dip these delicate cookies in the chocolate.
