Easy Snickerdoodle Cookies Recipe

Old-fashioned cinnamon snickerdoodle cookies are always a hit especially around the fall and winter holidays. A classic sugary cinnamon coating surrounds a soft chewy cookie that is simply irresistible. The cookie itself is similar to a sugar cookie but with one major difference: cream of tartar and baking soda are used instead of baking powder. The sour cream of tartar gives the cookie its signature spiciness.

The snickerdoodle cookie recipe is also super easy to make. Beat the butter and sugar for a minute or two then add the remaining ingredients. The cookie dough is easy to shape and roll in the cinnamon-sugar coating and no refrigeration is required. Your first batch of cookies will be ready to eat in under 20 minutes!

If you’re wondering about the history of this special cookie the first mention of snickerdoodles in print dates back to the late 1800s. It’s thought that snickerdoodles originated in New England and that the first cookies may have contained fruit and nuts. As for the cookie’s whimsical name no one is sure. Some say the name may have come from German cinnamon rolls known as Schneckennudeln. Whatever the origin the word snickerdoodle is almost as fun to say as it is to eat.
