User Reviews:

I went to Amazon.com and typed in Chocolate Snickerdoodles. I think this is the recipe that I'm looking for because it has no brown sugar. But when I make it, I plan to roll the cookies in powdered sugar. I used to have this recipe but it got lost or misplaced. I should put my favorite recipes in a pocket album. This might also be known as Chocolate Crinkles but I didn't type in those words. Anxious to try this recipe.
