Best Ever Snickerdoodle Cookies

I have had made many recipes for snickerdoodle cookies.

Nothing compares to this one.


The buttery cookies are tender and crunchy mouth-watering while baking cookies.


The snickerdoodles are by far the best ever cinnamon fall sugar cookie ever!


I can't even tell you how many I have made that never compared to this recipe.


If you bake these until set they stay soft inside, crunchy outside, baking longer makes them more like sugar cookies.


Either way, they taste great.


Scroll down to get this easy recipe and get in the kitchen and make these this fall!

Growing Up with Simple Ingredients

Mom always made a cookie from the basic ingredients in the house and this was one of them.


We always had flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon, eggs, and butter.


This was a favorite cookie then and now.

Flavoring the Sugar

This is simple to make.


I start with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, (added to a ziplock bag or place on a paper plate) and stir or shake to blend it evenly.


I love cinnamon if you want less, start out with 1 teaspoon and season to taste with this spice.

Rolling in the Sugar

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls then evenly cover the cookie balls.


Place on either a parchment-lined cookie sheet or lightly oil sprayed.

The Dough

As I said before, if you melt the butter,  the dough will be a gooey and hard to roll.


Leave it at room temperature, your dough will be perfect.


See below photo of dough with melted butter, not too easy to roll.

Make a Double Batch!

This recipe makes around 24 medium-sized cookies, I always double the batch at Christmas time.


These go fast and taste amazing still warm!


I can never make enough of these, that's why they are a cookie jar favorite!

Great Holiday Cookies

These cookies are really a year-round childhood favorite.


We bake lots of cookies for the holiday season and this one just shouts fall with the cinnamon coating.


I love making these for the Christmas holiday tray.

Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice

A snickerdoodle is a childhood favorite. These cookies have been around as long as I can remember.


Mom uses to make them when I was a child, that was in the late 1960s.


We love the smell of them baking, they are pure comfort food at its finest.


The soft buttery inside is so addicting!


They go great with a cup of flavored teas, and especially with a cup of hot cocoa.

Tips You Can Substitute!

• If you don't have the cream of tarter you can substitute lemon juice.
• For crunchier cookies bake until edges are browned.
• For softer cookies bake just till set not browned.
• Flattened cookies with a cinnamon and sugared flat bottom glass.
• I add more cinnamon to my sugar than most people like, adjust to taste.
• I love the whole cookie dredged in the sugar, not just the tops.
• For thicker cookies refrigerator the dough balls then bake

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

The cinnamon sugar recipe is listed in this recipe.


I roll the entire dough balls not just on the top.

Puffy or Flat Cookies?

When I make these cookies, I have two kinds of lovers in the house on how to bake them.


One loves them thin and crispy, the other thick and chewy.


The thin ones are flattened with the bottom of a sugared or floured glass.


The thick ones are rolled into balls and baked.


Here are the thick ones not flattened with a sugared glass

Additions to the Top

1. mm's
2. mini chocolate chips
3. colorful sprinkles
4. chopped walnuts

A Crispy Crunchy Cookie

It's a crunchy outside, soft inside cookie but the longer you cook them the crunchier the cookie.


If you want to make them softer only bake these until set not browned on the edges.
