Who doesn’t love a yummy snickerdoodle? There is just something about the soft cookie that is rolled in cinnamon and sugar.
Everyone loves them and they are easy and fun to make! My boys love rolling the little balls of dough in the cinnamon and sugar, almost as much as they love eating them fresh from the oven.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping for Snickerdoodles
You are going to love making these cookies! You can be done from start to finish with all of them baked in under an hour!
Just preheat that oven, throw all of the ingredients in your mixer and make that dough!
The best part of Simple Snickerdoodles is the sugar-cinnamon topping! Nothing is more fun than rolling balls of soft cookie dough in the sugar and cinnamon.
After you have made your dough, roll those cookie dough balls in the sweet topping and get ready to bake them! Your house is going to smell unbelievable!
Make em, bake em, or freeze them for later
Of course these cookies are amazing and you will want to make them and bake them so you can eat them right away. But you can easily freeze the dough to bake them later.
There are 2 options for freezing the dough. Roll the dough into one big roll and freeze it. Or roll the dough into seperate dough balls and freeze them.
I would not recommend freezing the dough balls with the cinnamon-sugar rolled on them.
When they defrost, the cinnamon and sugar may become a little wet from the moisture when they thaw, and may dissolve a bit. So keep that in mind if you roll them in the cinnamon and sugar before.
That being said, if you want to make them even easier when freezing them, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar and they will be ready to bake after thawing.
Snickerdoodle cookies can be kept in a tightly covered dish for up to a week, but I am sure they won’t last that long!
