Classic Snickerdoodles

There's nothing quite like warm, soft, chewy Snickerdoodles, especially around Christmas. ย The sweet and spicy cinnamon-sugar is the very essence of the holidays. ย And to smell classic Snickerdoodles baking in the oven... Heaven.

We make Classic Snickerdoodles as part of our regularly scheduled Christmas baking every year. ย The kids enjoy doing the ball-rolling and dipping them in the cinnamon-sugar. ย For super festive Christmas Snickerdoodles, you can use substitute red colored sugar or green colored sugar instead of your plain old white sugar. ย But either way, these Classic Snickerdoodles will taste amazing.
