Step aside, chocolate chip—we're filling our cookie jar with snickerdoodles. Of course, cinnamon-sugar is too good to save for just cookies, so we created more snickerdoodle recipes inspired by our favorite cookie.
Get ready for snickerdoodle cheesecake, muffins, and more. Don't worry, we've still got the delicious classic snickerdoodle cookie recipes (plus a gluten-free version for your friends with allergies).
Snickerdoodles
One advantage of homemade snickerdoodles is that, unlike some cookie recipes, they're super easy to make and don't require a ton of ingredients or mix-ins. Plus, they're just so darn tasty! If you need a fun weekend activity, have your kids help roll the dough through cinnamon-sugar before baking—they'll appreciate the chance to play sous chef in the kitchen, and they'll love a warm, freshly-baked snickerdoodle cookie at the end even more.
Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookie Cups
The extra step of browning butter is the key to providing the perfect rich, nutty flavor to this snickerdoodle recipe. Placed into mini muffin cups, these cinnamon-sugar treats are the perfect poppable tiny treat. The pop of red from dried cranberries provides a festive touch and surprising tart flavor.
Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles
Just because there's a wheat allergy in the house doesn't mean you can't enjoy a soft, chewy snickerdoodle.
