Caramilk Snickerdoodle Cookies taste like a crunchy donut flavoured cookie with surprise chunks of Caramilk chocolate hidden inside.
I have been making Snickerdoodle cookies since my children were babies. The cookies are very popular in America and when I started my first food website in 2009 I shared the recipe with Australian cooks for the first time.
When I published the recipe I called these biscuits Donut Cookies. The reason for the title change was because no one knew what Snickerdoodles were, and donut cookies described the flavour so much better.
Fast forward 11 years and I am making a few changes to the recipe. These days I don't have a stand mixer so everything is made in the Thermomix. Plus I'm on a Caramilk chocolate binge! So I've made these cookies with chunks of Caramilk inside which makes them simply irresistible.
Caramilk Snickerdoodle Cooking Tips
- The cookies will spread A LOT during the cooking so make sure they are well spaced on the 2 trays.
- When hot the cookies will be very soft. Leave them to cool on the tray. They will crisp up as soon as they have cooled.
- I love the cinnamon sugar topping so before I place the cookies into the oven I sprinkle any of the remaining sugar topping over the cookies for extra flavour.
- Don't squash the cookies prior to baking. Just place the round dough balls in the oven. They will spread by themselves as they cook.

Just wondering if I can make these without the chocolate? Do I have to change anything else? Thanks!
