Look at that. Saturday is Valentines day. And if you are anything like me, you’ve probably also remembered this love fool day, a day too late in the past. But this year is different. I have a plan and hopefully hubby would love these Chocolate Covered Snickerdoodles cookies. Promise I’ll bake them in time…
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.
Heck, I think for Valentines Day, you can really indulge with your loved one. (And chocolate dip makes a pretty neat body paint..hint..hint) Have a good one all!
