directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F for a non-stick cookie sheet, or 400°F for any other pan.
  • Cream the butter, then add sugar and mix.
  • Sift the flour,salt, and baking powder into the mixture, add egg and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  • If you find your dough is a bit too sticky, throw it in the freezer for roughly 15 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
  • Shape the dough into walnut size balls and roll in topping mixture.
  • Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes (8 is usually enough, so keep an eye out).

  1. So easy and perfect! Made exactly as directed, I got 25 cookies, and everyone loves them in my family
     
  2. This recipe turned out with exactly the right softness and moisture. I added a 1/4 teaspoon vanilla to the batter and used a tablespoon more sugar in the cinnamon/sugar mix.
     
  3. Absolutly love this recipe, but from a bakers mouth to your eyes do not mix batters w/your hands;it takes out some of the moisture out of it and wind up w/dry crumbly (not in a good way) happy baking :0))
     
  4. The best softest easiest snicker doodles I've ever made!!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. These are now a new family favorite!!!
     
  5. Yummy, a big hit for my whole family. My son wants to make it a "secret family recipe"!

  1. Baked longer for crispness. Added small splash of vanilla, because I love vanilla.
