The classic snickerdoodle cookie is leavened with a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar, which gives them their characteristically cakey-chewy centers and crisp edges. Cream of tartar also gives the cookies the slightest tang, which, along with their cinnamon-sugar coating, differentiates them from a straight-up sugar cookie. This take on the classic has a little chocolaty secret, thanks to a spoonful of Nutella tucked inside each ball of cookie dough, which melts into a delicious filling.
(Fun behind-the-scenes note: When I tried chocolate ganache in place of Nutella, it did not melt in the same fashion, which created mounded cookies that resembled Emiko's minne de Sant'Agata, if you know what I mean—see below.)

Why oh why oh WHY did my beautiful sheet of chocolate chip cookies turn into a big, ugly blob as they baked? Well, there are several reasons cookies spread. A touch too much sugar, for one – sugar is hygroscopic; it absorbs liquid. When you’re preparing your dough, it may LOOK just fine (as the sugar is holding onto the liquid); but once it bakes, and the sugar releases that liquid it had been hoarding, watch out for those puddles! Another less common reason is scooping cookie dough onto a hot baking sheet, or one that’s overly greased. The dough hits the hot/slick surface, and starts to spread immediately; the additional, planned-for spread in the oven is exacerbated by this head start.
