    Snickerdoodle Fun Facts

    The snickerdoodle has been called many names, including "Cry Babies," "Jumbles" and "Plunkets." It's claimed that the cookie might have been named after a popular folk character named Snickerdoodle!  For more interesting facts about Snickerdoodles, check out What is a Snickerdoodle Cookie?

    Ingredients You Need

    Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chip Cookies

    • unsalted butter softened
    • brown sugar
    • granulated sugar
    • egg
    • vanilla extract
    • all-purpose flour
    • salt
    • baking powder
    • cinnamon chips
    • Cinnamon sugar, for rolling

    Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture

    • granulated sugar
    • cinnamon

    How to Make Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chip Cookies

    1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until fluffy for a couple of minutes.
    2. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
    3. Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt until just combined. Add in the cinnamon chips. Do not over-mix, dough should be wet, but crumbly looking.
    4. Scoop dough balls out with ¼ cup cookie scoop.
    5. Roll scooped dough balls in cinnamon sugar and place on parchment lined cookie sheet while you preheat the oven.
    6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    7. Bake cookies 2 inches apart for 15 minutes. Do not overbake to keep them soft and chewy style.
    8. Let cookies continue to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet and then transfer to a baking rack.
    9. For smaller cookies, use 1.5 or 2 tablespoon cookie scoops and bake for 10-12 minutes.

    If you want to leave the cinnamon chips out, that is cool!  You'll still get a great traditional snickerdoodle cookie that you'll want to make over and over again!

    Option to Chill Dough While Preheating Oven

    You don't have to chill them at all actually.  However, I really like the option to make the cookie dough and then scoop the dough with my quarter cup cookie scoop.  Roll them in cinnamon sugar, place a few cinnamon chips on top.  Then, place them all on a baking sheet and let them chill in the fridge while preheating the oven for 15 minutes or so.

    Bake them for 15 minutes or so and you get moist, delicious cookies that are beyond scrumptious!

    In case you noticed, we didn't add in the cream of tartar, but if you can't live without it, add a ½ teaspoon.  I know some people swear they aren't real snickerdoodles if you don't have cream of tartar. 😉  I understand!  It's your call!

    Cookie Prep & Storage 

    • Baked Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chip Cookies will stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen up to 3 months.
    • Or, once you make the cookie dough, make the dough balls, roll them in cinnamon sugar, then chill  in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
