Soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies filled with chocolate and lemon flavors. These easy snickerdoodle cookies are made with lemon juice instead of vanilla extract, and filled with chocolate chips in the cookie dough. These easy cookies are perfect to bake for any spring or summer themed occasion, with the delicious lemon flavors.
The cookie dough is started out like a classic sugar cookie dough, except that instead of vanilla extract, lemon juice is used. Chocolate chips are then folded into the cookie dough. Roll the dough into balls, and roll each one into a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
