I’ve totally acknowledged to myself I’m a chocoholic (and Diet Coke-aholic and fry-aholic and sweets-aholic…) because I would rather have a chocolate brownie over an oatmeal raisin cookie any day. I mean, who wouldn’t? But when it comes to snickerdoodles, all bets are off. They are my kryptonite when it comes to baked goods and I can’t resist them AT ALL.
With how much I love snickerdoodles and how much experience I have tasting them—I take every opportunity to taste test I can—I’d like to think I’m an expert when it comes to the best snickerdoodle recipes. And while I have yet to create a copycat Village Baker snickerdoodle, the Recipe I’m sharing today is seriously the best ever snickerdoodle recipe I’ve tried.
This snickerdoodle recipe is the best ever for a few reasons. One, you don’t have to chill the dough. Two, it has the perfect amount of cream of tartar. (I swear cream of tartar’s sole purpose is to flavor snickerdoodles and make homemade playdough.) And three, it has cinnamon in the cookie dough, not just around the cookie dough.
That last reason is what truly makes these the best ever snickerdoodles. Who knew an extra pinch or two of cinnamon would make already heavenly cookies more heavenly?
I feel like there should be a recommended daily allowance for snickerdoodles and it should be, like, at least three cookies. I mean, they are part of that whole dessert food group on the food pyramid. By the way, on my pyramid it’s the foundation.
You should probably give this best ever snickerdoodle recipe a try and see if you don’t become an immediate fan. I bet you’ll find it nearly impossible not to eat them hot from the oven.
