Chocodoodles

I've always been a Snickerdoodle fan and have always been one to choose it over any other cookie. I even like it more than I do an oatmeal cookie! I mean, whats not to love about these cookies? Their basically sugar cookies coated in cinnamon sugar. How could you not like that?

Not to long ago, I was just sitting around, thinking. And then a thought came to mind; "Wonder what a Snickerdoodle would taste like with a little bit of cocoa...". And thats basically how I came about to trying this out.

What I did was, when I was combine the flour into the bowl, I would take 2 tablespoons of flour out, and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa. It's really simple, not hard at all. And you'll defiantly like the results of the cookies. The cookies had a sort of cake-like texture. And were to love. You'll defiantly fall in love with these cookies and think of Snickerdoodles in a whole new way.

A little tip for this recipe. With the nutmeg, be very careful! Do not add anymore than 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg! Anymore than that, and it will overpower.
