HOLIDAY SNICKERDOODLES

Back in the 80's my girlfriend had just had her first baby and invited me over and made these cookies, this is the first time I had ever tasted snickerdoodles. The next day, remembering how good they were, I called her for the recipe. Have been making them ever since. I like to double this recipe, because at my house these only last a few hours.

Tips:

  • For perfectly round Snickerdoodles, use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet.

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Roll the cookies in cinnamon sugar before baking for a classic Snickerdoodle flavor.
  • For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to your Snickerdoodles, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
