Key Ingredients
Softened butter: this creates a more even distribution of fats, resulting in a tender, light, and non-greasy cookie.
Brown sugar: this gives the cookie a deep and rich flavour. No brown sugar? No problem! Mix 2/3 cup of white granulated sugar with approximately 1 1/3 tablespoon of molasses.
Cinnamon: what would a snickerdoodle cookie be without cinnamon?!
Salt: here I used pink Himalayan salt, but any works! Just 1/2 a teaspoon for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
To Store
Keep in an airtight container or bag and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
To Freeze
Keep in an airtight container or bag and freeze for up to 1 month. To eat, reheat the cookie in the microwave or oven, alternatively, you can leave it to defrost overnight at room temperature.
Snickerdoodle Cookies
Description
These classic snickerdoodle cookies are soft, chewy, and use no cream of tartar! Coated with cinnamon sugar and balanced with the perfect amount of salt makes this a huge hit. Best in the fall on a rainy day but really good anytime anywhere!
