{ Simple Snickerdoodle Cookies }


While these aren't your authentic snickerdoodles (contain no cream of tartar), they definitely won't disappoint. Just throw together your favorite sugar cookie recipe and follow my lead...


To start, mix together 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, and 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon.


Next, roll up your sugar cookie dough and lay it out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I used up some leftover cookie dough that I had in the freezer. Cookie dough freezes wonderfully, and this recipe is the perfect way to use up extra!


Roll each ball of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture, lightly pressing down in order to pick up a good amount of the sugar coating (the more sugar, the better).


Place the dough about an inch apart on the cookie sheet. Oh, and lining with parchment paper is a miracle. The cookies slide right off once cooled, and it makes cleaning up a breeze.


Next, flatten each ball of dough with your fingertips in order to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.


Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes - or until golden brown, like the picture above!


That's absolutely it. So simple. So yum.


...and then "accidentally" smother them in cookie butter and turn them into cookie sandwiches. Trust me on this one.



enjoy*
