I don’t make these cookies nearly enough. The year goes by in a blink of an eye and all of a sudden it’s the late fall, days are chilly, and I have a hankering for snickerdoodles. Thick and chewy and packed full of that cinnamon-sugar flavour that snickerdoodles are known for. These are, and I quote my children, “our favourite cookie ever!”

The Best Snickerdoodles
My cookie style is pretty casual. Meaning that when I want a cookie, I make a cookie. No-chill time is an important factor for me and up to now, all my other cookies are exactly that: no-chill. I would be doing you a cookie disservice though if I didn’t make you chill the dough for a bit on these snickerdoodles. It’s not a long time, only an hour, and I pinky promise that these are worth it. I swear!

Thanks for sharing Carol!
These were a delicious add to our Christmas cookie bundles. I made the dough and froze balls to bake as needed. Since after freezing the sugar/cinnamon coating was t as obvious I sprinkled some granulated sugar over them when they came out of the oven.

Good idea to freeze the dough for handy baking/cookie cravings!
