How To Make Snickerdoodle Cookies
Snickerdoodles are simple to make at home! In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in the wet ingredients until smooth. Combine dry components in a separate mixing bowl before gradually adding them to the butter mixture until thoroughly combined. Then, chill the dough for easier handling. Once chilled, preheat the oven and prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll dough into balls before rolling them in cinnamon sugar and putting them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in the oven. After baking, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool before enjoying!
How To Reheat & Store Snickerdoodle Cookies
Best Way To Store Snickerdoodles?
To store Snickerdoodle cookies, put them in an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. To prevent moisture build-up in the container, make sure cookies are completely cooled before storing them.
How Long Will Homemade Snickerdoodle Cookies Last In The Fridge?
Snickerdoodles will stay fresh for up to a week in the refrigerator if kept in an airtight container, but you do not need to refrigerate them. They'll keep for about a week at room temperature as well.
Can I Freeze Snickerdoodle Cookies?
Yes, Snickerdoodles are ideal for freezing. Once the cookies have cooled down, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and keep them frozen for up to 6 months.
How To Reheat Homemade Snickerdoodles?

Snickerdoodle Cookie FAQs
Can I make these Snickerdoodle cookies ahead of time?
Yes! Follow the recipe until the dough is formed. Let it chill in the refrigerator once you've made the dough until you're ready to bake.
I cannot find the cream of tartar at my local supermarket. Is there something else I can use?
Yes, cream of tartar is a by-product of winemaking that is highly acidic. When it reacts with baking soda, carbon dioxide gas is released. That gas aids in the rise and fluffy texture of your snickerdoodles (and other baked goods). Because cream of tartar may be hard to come by at the grocery store, another option is to use lemon juice or vinegar. These ingredients are also acidic, so they will help the baking soda do its job.
Can I use flax eggs instead of apple sauce for this recipe?
Yes, you may replace apple sauce with flaxseed eggs by combining 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken the consistency of eggs, then follow the recipe as directed.

Notes
- Just after removing from the oven the cookies will be soft, but keep in mind that they will firm up after cooling.
- The cookie dough is freezer-friendly – you can freeze the raw cookie dough, but make sure to shape it into the cookies before you do. The ideal way to freeze cookies is by placing them in a freezer-friendly container and placing parchment paper in between each so that they do not stick together. To bake from frozen, increase the baking time by a few minutes.
- This is a recipe made in one bowl, and therefore it is super easy even for the absolute beginners, but also when you are craving something sweet and mess-free.
- Instead of just the cinnamon, you can add one part of the gingerbread spice mixture.
- How to store the cookies; store them in a fridge, in an airtight container.
