Now let’s get back to the important stuff, these cookies! This is the best easy snickerdoodle recipe I’ve come across to date and I’ve tried many! Thick ones, thin ones, chewy ones, crunchy ones, and even a few disappointing ones, but these snickerdoodles are by far my favorite.

Easy Snickerdoodle Recipe Tricks

- Allow your eggs to come to room temperature
- Use a 1 tablespoon ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the cookie sheet
- While baking be sure to rotate the cookie sheet so that they bake evenly to the edge of each cookie

Yes, friends! You read that correctly, one bowl and no rolling! That makes these cookies the perfect weekday treat or a simple baking activity to do with the kids on Saturday afternoon! And I promise, your kitchen won’t even end up a total disaster!
These snickerdoodles are of the thin and chewy variety, which I’ve really grown to love. They have a light texture and crispy edges. And they’re not overly cinnamon-y (yes that’s legit!). When you bake them in the oven, the cinnamon sugar mixture on the top starts to melt just a little bit, giving these cookies some crunch on the top. You’re going to love it! Crispy, crunchy, chewy, snickerdoodle perfection!
When you get a taste for snickerdoodles, you’ll definitely want to reach for this easy snickerdoodle recipe! And if you’re looking for other yummy cookie recipes, try these flourless peanut butter cookies or these fun sprinkle chocolate chip cookies they both get two thumbs up from my peeps!
