Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle Cookies! I have made so many different kinds of Snickerdoodle Cookies, some are thin & chewy, some are soft & thick. This recipe is the kind that makes the latter of the two, it makes thick, soft, cakey Snickerdoodle Cookies! Some might say that you can’t make Snickerdoodle Cookies without adding cream of tartar, I would have to disagree because I think these taste great. You can make Snickerdoodles with no cream of tartar added, it’s just a matter of preference.

Snickerdoodle Cookies are kind of special to me because as I think back to when I was a kid just learning to bake these were the first kind of cookies I ever made by myself!

I like to use a cookie scoop when I make cookies because it makes the job faster. I own the Vollrath Cookie Scoop in several different sizes.
