How can someone not like chocolate? It is so far beyond me that it is truly unimaginable. I honestly believe it is a birth defect. That is the only reasonable explanation.
Since most of my favorite baked goods contain chocolate and a lot of it, I struggle to find recipes that he likes. Snickerdoodles are one that he requests at least once a week and if he had a more considerate mom, he might get them that often.
Snickerdoodles
Classic snickerdoodle cookies made with cinnamon sugar for sweetness and a bit of cream of tartar for some tartness. Soft and chewy every time!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of your electric mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter until light and fluffly, about 3 minutes. Slowly add sugar and beat well. Add eggs, one at a time allowing first to incorporate before adding second. Add vanilla and salt to mix. Add cream of tartar, soda and flour and mix on low until combined.

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out balls of dough into cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes, until lightly brown along the edges of the cookie. Allow cookies to set on the pan for about 3-4 minutes before removing to cool completely.
