š How to make snickerdoodle cookies
Step 1:Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The other week, I whipped up a batch for a friendās game night, and by the end of the evening, the plate was empty, and everyone was asking for the recipe. I barely got one for myself! Theyāre quick to make and bake, so now I make sure to have some ready for when a cookie craving (or impromptu gathering) hits.
20-minute cookies. Minimal prep, simple ingredients, and no need to chill the dough! Year-round treat. These are classic holiday cookies, but they’re so easy to make for any occasionāfamily dinners, potlucks, or as a weekend treat. Simple yet warm, comforting flavors of cinnamon and sugar in each bite.

Softened butter creates the best texture. Too soft, and the cookies can spread too much; too firm, and they wonāt mix well. If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 10-15 minutes to make rolling easier. A thick coating of cinnamon-sugar gives the cookies that irresistible crackled surface and spice. Gently pressing down each cookie before baking helps them spread just right without getting too thin.
š“Storage and reheating suggestions
You can make the dough up to two days ahead and store it in the fridge or freeze it for up to a month. Just thaw before rolling in the cinnamon sugar. FreezeĀ unbaked dough balls rolled in cinnamon sugar on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
