- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter with the granulated sugar thoroughly.
- Add the egg, the egg yolk and the vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl gradually until well combined.

The name suits them well! Adding chocolate was a last minute thought that turned out to be sensational!
Snickerdoodles are my downfall of life. Throw in a little chocolate goodness and I can’t even imagine.
You have to try them…they are as good as they sound!
A chocolatey surprise in a snickerdoodle – love it!
I thought a little chocolate couldn’t hurt!
Looks yummy 😋
Thanks Rachel!
I have never heard of chocolate filled snicker doodles! This is a recipe I must try!
Sounds good…right? They are delicious 😋
Snickerdoodles are my FAVORITE cookies! I don’t do a lot of baking anymore with all the kids gone – but, true story, my daughter just asked me last week if I could come out to Arizona a few days earlier than I planned around Xmas so that I could bake lots and lots of cookies for her – especially Snickerdoodles! Thanks for the recipe – I do have one – but like to try out others! You never know when you’ll find that perfect recipe!
Sounds amazing! I like to put a spin on things. Who doesn’t like chocolate? Add it to a snickerdoodle..winner!
