These Chocolate Mint Snickerdoodles are crispy soft and full of mint and chocolate deliciousness! Such a fun twist on classic snickerdoodles.
We are now in November….how did this happen?! When I get stressed about the upcoming Holidays I just bake. Bake all day long, lol!
I’ve been obsessed with snickerdoodles lately! After making the Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles I had all of these fun ideas. These turned out so good. Mint and cocoa….win!
So fun for cookie exchanges and gift giving this Holiday season. Enjoy friends!
Cream of tartar then a little vanilla pudding mix gives these cookies AWESOME texture. Obsessed.
Beautiful snickerdoodle cookie dough with a hint of mint.
Roll these babies in the cocoa/sugar mixture.
Time to bake!

Your directions, see below in quotes, mention pumpkin spice and a cocoa mix was that just a typo from the stressed comment – “3. Place sugar and pumpkin pie spice into a medium bowl, stirring to combine. Roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls, roll in cocoa sugar mix then place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring.” Sorry I was just so intrigued about both variations and especially because you said cookie exchanges. Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks for catching that Alicia! Just edited that. No pumpkin spice in this recipe 🙂
I’m going to test them out soon, hoping to add to my cookie exchange list. We make a variety, especially when you are taking and baking 10 dozen cookies. Getting excited, thanks!
Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies. Could this recipe really take them to the next level…I will have to try it and find out. Happy Thursday, Jenny 🙂
Delicious! What a great new take on a snickerdoodle!
I’m loving the chocolate mint twist to these awesome cookies! Baking is what I do when I’m stressed too 🙂

I would love to try these snickerdoodles today! is there any way to substitute pudding?
You can leave the pudding mix out 🙂
