Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies

The popular cinnamon-sugar soft and chewy sugar cookie recipe. A recipe that has been in the family for over 30 years!

This was one of the first cookie recipes I made as a kid.  As I have shared before, I was fully obsessed with cookbooks as a little girl. My Mom collected church cookbooks and I would go straight to the cookie recipes and beg my Mom to let me whip up a batch. I made this snickerdoodle cookie recipe 30 years ago and it is still the best I have ever tasted.

This is such a popular Christmas cookie because I have yet to find anyone who doesn’t love snickerdoodle cookies! When I used to teach a cooking school for kids, it was the first cookie I taught them to make because kids love them.  Whenever I make these cookies, they disappear so darn fast!

So what makes a perfect snickerdoodle cookie?

A snickerdoodle cookie has to be soft and chewy.  No hard hockey puck cookies here! It has to be rolled twice in cinnamon-sugar to ensure that it is completely coated.  It also has to have the signature tang from the cream of tartar.

How to make the BEST Snickerdoodle Cookie:

  1.  Start by creaming butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes. This is an important step as the butter coats the sugar crystals and creates a smooth texture. It also whips air into the cookie dough.
  2. Use Cream of Tartar as a leavening agent. It gives it the signature tangy flavor and chewy texture.  A touch of baking soda helps the cookies to rise as well.
  3. Double roll the cookie balls into a cinnamon-sugar mixture.  This helps to make sure the cookies are completely coated in cinnamon-sugar before baking.
  4. Bake just until the edges begin to become a light golden color.  These snickerdoodle cookies need to be soft and chewy so watch carefully. If you want them to be flat, press the balls down in the center before placing in the oven.
  5. My favorite baking tools for perfect Snickerdoodle cookies — light-colored baking sheets, parchment paper sheets, KitchenAid mixer.

The Best Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe. Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies. The popular cinnamon-sugar soft and chewy sugar cookie recipe. A recipe that has been in the family for over 30 years! 

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: snickerdoodle cookies
Servings: 24
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cup Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.  Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer. 

  3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, just until combined. 

  4. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon. 

  5. If time allows, wrap the dough and let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.  Roll into small balls until round and smooth.  Drop into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat well. Using a spoon, coat for a second time, ensuring the cookie balls are completely covered.  *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle. *

  6. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.  Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.  

I hope you love this snickerdoodle cookie recipe and it becomes a staple in your family for years! Happy Baking!

    These are some of the best cookies I have ever made! they are so easy and quick and my family ate all 24 of them in under two days! Would definitely recommend to any one looking to impress, or those who just want a delicious treat! The ball size depends on how big you would like the cookies. I prefer larger ones so I use 1.5 inches.

      I think you can use whatever butter you want and it won’t make that much of a difference. I used salted butter even though the recipe called for unsalted and I just added less salt to the dry mix since the butter already had it. Hope this helps 🙂

    This was my first time making snickerdoodles and I am very satisfied! I came out with exactly 24 cookies which rarely happens when I follow recipes (usually I end up with more haha). The first batch was picture perfect and the cookies were so soft. The second batch I decided to double-roll in the sugar coating since I realized I had a lot. I found that they weren’t as aesthetically pleasing as the single-roll so I would stick to single-rolling. Also, I cooked my second batch a little longer by mistake so they were still soft but not too soft; this could be an option for people who don’t like their cookies too soft but still delicious. Thank you so much, I’m looking forward to trying more recipes from your website~

    I made slight alterations and these turned out perfect! I used 3 cups of flour instead of 2 and 3/4, 1 teaspoon of cream of tarter instead of 1 and 1/2 teaspoons, and 3/4 teaspoon salt instead of 1 teaspoon. I didn’t refrigerate the dough and I used 1/8 cup dough for each cookie. I formed them into balls and, after rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, flattened them slightly and put them straight onto an ungreased, unlined cookie sheet. (I use the ones Costco sells, which are a thick aluminum, I believe.) They took 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. After removing them from the oven, I let them set on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before putting them on paper towels to cool. These are delicious!

      Addition to my earlier comment: I did not use unsalted butter, but I reduced the salt in the recipe to 3/4 teaspoon. I just rolled them in the cinnamon sugar mixture once, but I also took a spoon and covered them again, like she suggests and they had just the right amount of coating on them.

    This is the best snickerdoodle cookie recipe ever! I am not going to look any further!

    I divided the dough into 2 portions wanting to make them fresh the next day but the 12 cookies just disappeared, even before they could cool down! So I made the next batch right away!

    Thank you for sharing this precious recipe!

    I’m wary of these “the best ___” recipes online, but this one actually is the best 🙂 It makes about 36 medium-small (not quite bite-sized) cookies. It has a lot of butter….but that gives it the buttery smooth flavor, and is the secret to “soft and chewy” cookies. I feel like you can’t go wrong with this cookie even if you’re a beginner baker. It was a hit with friends last night; we sent the cookies around 3 times and they were almost gone within the hour!

    I have made this recipe for my very particular, snickerdoodle-loving husband and son at least 3x now and I have miraculously managed to make them perfectly every time! I appreciate the recommendation to imprint your thumb in the center of the dough balls! This helps them not puff up in the middle, cook evenly, and result in the perfect amount of firmness around the edges and chewyness throughout :p

    I seem to be in the minority based on all of the other reviews, but I felt like these cookies turned out incredibly salty. As I was adding the salt, I was surprised to see that the recipe called for an entire teaspoon, but I always make a new recipe exactly as written the first time to see if I like it or not. With some tweaks I imagine that these cookies can be really good, but as is, they were not my favorite.

    If you are making these cookies, I personally recommend that you decrease the amount of salt in them.

      Wanted to adjust my rating based on my roommate’s review of the cookies:

      My roommate absolutely adored these cookies and made no mention of the salt. I asked her to try them without telling her my own opinion and she’s a big fan. I feel like this proves that I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to these cookies as I still personally think that the cookies are on the salty side, but I’m glad that they’ll be eaten and enjoyed.

      The average review between us would be 3.5/5.

    My 11 year old grandson was spending the night with us and wanted to bake cookies. I didn’t have chocolate chips for his favorite cookie and it was late at night, so I thought about what we could make with the ingredients I had on hand. I came up with snickerdoodles and found this recipe. They turned out great and he loved them (so did Grammie!) Some were big, some were small, and the second tray baked longer than the first, but they were all delicious. I don’t think you can mess up this recipe! We’ll be baking these again.

    I LOVE this recipe! I’ve already made it quite a few times – it’s quick and easy to make. These cookies are a go-to if you’re looking for a quick weeknight dessert if you have people coming over.

    A really perfect recipe! I followed the recipe exactly and they came out with crisp edges and a chewy center. I yielded 48 cookies, with most being about 3″wide when baked for 9 1/2 mins. These cookies were so good our family loved them!

    Absolutely delicious! I substituted lemon juice for cream of tartar, but still came out amazing! My husband said it was the best cookie I’ve ever made. Super excited for this to become a regular for parties in the future!

    I’m making these tomorrow. I have a new #40 cookie scoop I’m going to use. How far apart should they be on the cookie sheet? I couldn’t find the answer in any of the comments. And how many will it make with that size scoop? With two sticks of organic butter at stake, I’d rather not experiment. 😉

    I’m making these tomorrow using a new #40 cookie scoop. With that size scoop, how far apart should they be in the cookie sheet? I assume they spread quite a bit. And using a #40 scoop, how many cookies will it make? With two sticks of organic butter at stake, I don’t want to experiment. 😉

    Almost, Too melt in your mouth. Did as the recipe said, enjoyed watching the butter and sugar go together in this, smooth, soft mixture, then putting in the rest of the ingredients, refrigerating it, then forming the cinnamon sugar coated balls. Taste is great, but I prefer a sturdier cookie.

    To all my GF bakers, this recipe works perfectly for us gluten-free! Just use a GF 1:1 flour substitute. Excellent recipe, thank you so much for sharing. Snickerdoodles are my favorite!
