Chocolate snickerdoodles
Why I Love This Recipe
I'll include the variation of plain old snickerdoodles as well, since this is my oldest & most often-made snickerdoodle.
The chocolate snickerdoodles are a good basic chocolate cookie. Not too sweet or rich. Great for kids parties.

1/2 c butter

=================
For traditional cinnamon version,
- eliminate cocoa
- use 2 3/4 c flour
Combine: 2 T sugar & 2 t cinnamon (or use pre-bought cinnamon sugar). Roll balls in cinnamon sugar.
Cook 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Fun variation: roll the chocolate ones in cinnamon sugar as well for a "mayan chocolate" cookie ;)
