Simple Snickerdoodle Cookies

Let’s talk about Simple Snickerdoodle Cookies! These classic cookies are coated in cinnamon and sugar, giving them their distinct crunch. Serve them with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee, they’re the perfect afternoon treat! 

Snickerdoodles are so underrated! They have a sweet crisp exterior because of the sugar coating, but do not crumble like a shortbread cookie. Snickerdoodles have always been a favorite of mine, and I love that I get to share them with my kids. I’m guilty of not making them often, usually saving them for the holidays. Our household (by our household I mean my husband) is of the firm belief that if cookies are to be baked, they better be chocolate chip cookies. I get it, chocolate chip cookies are the gold standard and I ALWAYS have the ingredients on hand. However, these snickerdoodles are equally yummy, so I sneak them in when I can. 

Tips for making Simple Snickerdoodle Cookies: 
  • Room temperature ingredients! Make sure that your butter is at room temperature by pulling it out 30 minutes before baking. Also, pull out the eggs as well, to ensure they’re the right temperature.
Rolled cookie dough with cinnamon and sugar on a cookie sheet.
  • These cookies spread a bit when baking. The instructions below say to grab about a teaspoon of dough to roll. I highly recommend sticking with that size.
  • Do not overbake this cookie; this is not a soft baked snickerdoodle. As your cookies cool, they will begin to harden slightly.
  • The dough should be on the sticker side. If you find it is too sticky, place the dough in the refrigerator to set up (about 10 minutes). 
  • Make sure that you coat the entire cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, not simply the tops. 

That’s about it! Pretty straightforward, pretty simple, just like these cookies! I hope you enjoy them just as much as me and my family do! Enjoy 🙂
