"A classic Snickerdoodle recipe for the best Snickerdoodle Cookies ever! Soft & chewy with great cinnamon sugar flavor and that traditional snickerdoodle texture. My oldest son adores Snickerdoodles so I make them often. I’ve used the same recipe for years- if it ‘aint broke and all that. It’s easy and my kids love spooning the sugar over the dough. I adore the simple flavor of Snickerdoodle cookies, so really, everyone wins. Ready in just 18 minutes, you'll definitely want to try this recipe!"
