Snickerdoodles Cookies

This classic snickerdoodle recipe is my very favorite! I have been making these for years and it took a lot of tast testing to get these to be just right.

These snickerdoodles are soft, light and delicious. I have been asked for the recipe dozens of times over the years and today I am excited to share it with you. These go perfectly with a nice cup of cinnamon hot chocolate too!

Why this Classic Snickerdoodles Recipe?

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. You mix the dough and cover the little rolled balls with a cinnamon sugar mixture before baking. The result is a soft, chewy cookie with a chewy texture with a light cinnamon flavor!

    There's nothing like a snickerdoodle, huh? Cassidy makes brown buttered snickerdoodles and stuffs them with caramel. I think it's so good, but they're so good alone too that the bells and whistles aren't even necessary to have a great cookie experience.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
