Snickerdoodles

Sep 29, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

These snickerdoodles are the real deal. Soft, chewy and ready in under 30 minutes. One of the easiest cookies that really do come out perfect each time. They’re even better after they sit a day or two, which is always a win in my book.

If you’re a cinnamon lover like me, you have to give these a try. Temps are starting to drop up here and I feel like these are the perfect way to transition into some fall baking.

Y’all let me know what you think!
