Snickerdoodles Recipe – A Little Bit of Cookie Heaven

Sunday, December 2, 2012 by Lolli 7 Comments

I came home from a photo shoot on Saturday night to find my 13 year old baking in the kitchen. I was both thrilled and proud….thrilled that she had decided to make a batch of Snickerdoodles and proud because they were both gorgeous AND delicious. I was extra proud that she experimented a little with the method and was rewarded with even better results than usual.

She takes after her mom that way.

Note: This cookie makes a wonderful addition to holiday cookie plates. One of my favorite things about Snickerdoodles, beyond the incredible taste, is the simple, always-on-hand ingredients.

    Angie and Dierdre, HUGE apologies! Apparently, I am losing it. I double checked the paper recipe and there was supposed to be 2 3/4 cups flour, not 1 3/4 cups (when it was originally posted, there was a typo and I corrected it incorrectly). I feel horrible!

    I’m having the same problem. Did you try the flour suggestion? Did it work out?

    Deirdre, I’m not sure what could have gone wrong. What was the consistency of the dough before you refrigerated it? My first suggestion would be that it might have needed more flour. Sometimes the humidity or conditions in the house can make a difference.

    I followed the recipe and directions exactly but when I baked them they ran together and came out very thin and flat. What am I doing wrong?

    So sorry about that typo! It should be 1 3/4 cup. I’ll change that as soon as I’m back home.
