Big Snickerdoodle Cookies Ingredients

Sugars: Combine ¾ cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of granulated sugar to make the cookies chewy, flavorful, and sweet.

Egg: You need 1 large egg to bind the ingredients for a good consistency.

Extract: Enhance the flavors by adding 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Flour: The base of the cookie dough is 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Salt: ½ tsp of salt will balance the flavors in this recipe.

Baking powder: Use ½ tsp of baking powder to help the cookies puff up a bit as they bake.

White chocolate chips: Make the cookies more incredible by using 2 cups of white chocolate chips, to coat the cookies before baking.

Cinnamon sugar: For rolling the cookies in you will need a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

How long are Snickerdoodle cookies good for?

These cinnamon cookies will stay fresh for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

For longer storage, these cookies can be frozen in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the cookies before eating and for a warmer taste, place a cookie on a plate and microwave for 10-30 seconds (time varies per microwave.

Are snickerdoodle cookies supposed to be hard or soft?

These snickerdoodle cookies should be soft when bitten into. Harder cookies may be a result of cookies being old and stale or being overbaked. As cookies bake, moisture is drawn out resulting in a drier cookie. You want to make sure that your cookies are cooked until no longer glossy on top. They may still appear slightly underdone but as they cool on the baking rack they will finish setting and become soft and set.

Can I make these cookies smaller?

Absolutely! You can divide the dough into smaller portions for bite-sized cookies or make them more standard size too. Just adjust the baking time slightly—smaller cookies will need less time, larger cookies a bit more.

Do I have to chill the cookie dough?

Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the flavor, but if you’re short on time, you can bake them right away. Just be gentle when shaping so they don’t spread too much.

Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate chips?

Yes! White chocolate gives a creamy sweetness, but dark or milk chocolate will work beautifully too—feel free to mix and match for your perfect flavor combo.
