Take Snickerdoodles to a whole new level with the addition of Cinnamon Chips to the batter. Underbake the cookies slightly so they’re crisp on the outside, but tender on the inside.

Recently, my Snickerdoodle loving nephew and his family spent a week at my house. I couldn’t resist whipping up a batch of Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodles / Cinnadoodles for him. Especially, since this cookie’s become one of my family’s favorites, and my post was in serious need of some updated photos. My nephew loved this cookies and ate more than I could count.
I also sent some home with my older brother who stopped by to visit. He took home several cookies so he could share them with his wife. He called me on his way home and said they were the best Snickerdoodles he’s ever eaten, and none of them made it home to his wife. Now that’s a rave review.
Maria, Two Peas and Their Pod, originally posted the Cinnadoodle cookie recipe, and Jenny at Picky Palate was raving about cinnamon chips, so I decided to try Maria’s recipe which she adapted from Martha Stewart’s Cookies. I was never a huge fan of snickerdoodles, but I am hooked on these Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodles. In fact, I made three batches of these cookies with in a few weeks the first time I made them. The cinnamon chips just put them over the top!
Be sure and underbake these cookies. They will set up on the cooling rack. Take them out when they are just crisp on the edges.

Cinnadoodles
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups cinnamon chips
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Add in cinnamon chips.
- Stir together cinnamon and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into balls; roll in cinnamon sugar. Place dough 2 inches apart on ungreased, or parchment lined cookie sheets.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and golden brown, but the center is still soft. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
I hope to be making more cookies from Martha Stewart’s Cookies cookbook this year. When I bought it we talked about making a cookie a week to try them all. I may have to try for a cookie a month. I wonder how long that would take to try them all?

Hi Barbara,
What about Cream of Tartar in this recipe? Also, will a little corn starch make them softer?
Barbara Schieving
Hi Barb – baking powder is a mix of soda and cream of tarter and often corn starch. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/the_difference_between_baking_soda_and_baking_powder/ You could try adding more corn starch, but I don’t think it’s necessary in this cookie. If the cookies are too crispy, just don’t cook them as long. Enjoy!

I just finished baking these. I added a generous cup of chopped pecans to the dough just because I had them. I love snickerdoodles but the cinnamon chips make these cookies what they are – fantastic!
Amanda
These look amazing!

Barbara,
I never had snickerdoodles until a few years ago and I found them to be delicious. These cookies look delicious.

Cinnamon chips? We only recently got butterscotch chips so it will be 5 years before these beauties hit our shores. I can’t wait to try these.

Beautiful! I just redid my downstairs refrigerator freezer and am OVERLOADED with cinnamon chips….your updated post couldn’t have come at a better time. Snickerdoodles are a favorite with the family-I know these are gonna be too. They look delicious.
Thank you Barbara!

I love cinnamon cookies. I make cripsy cinnamon cookies every year around the holidays but I’ve never made snickerdoodles. I’ll have to keep this in mind next time I’m hit with the urge to bake!

I wonder where I can find some cinnamon chips. Sounds interesting and fun to use in a few of my recipes.
