Snickerdoodle Cookies 

Snickerdoodle cookies recipe is a family favorite easy to make, and great for any type of party. #snickerdoodle #snickerdoodles #cookies #treatrecipes DearCreatives.com.jpgThis is my daughters most requested cookie recipe. Today I thought I’d show you how easy the steps are to make these cinnamon sugar cookies, called Snickerdoodles. If you have never made them this is a must try cookie recipe! 

How to make Snickerdoodles cookies 

Step 1 Start out with making the cookie dough.

If you don’t have a mixer. Use a larger mixing bowl, and a pastry cutter. Have a second bowl handy for your flour. 

First cream your one cup butter, and 1-1/2 cups (granulated) sugar together

Step 2 Remove creamed butter from your mixing blades. I use my spatula to do this. When hand mixing it has a bowl rest, which is a nice feature.

Disclosure: I did receive the  Copper Air Bake Non Stick Cookie Sheet an ice cream scoop (with trigger comfort handle), a flexible blade spatula, and silicone spatula to try for free. Some of the products you’ll see in this post, and how I used them. I am really loving my new non cookie sheet, not only does it work great it matches my copper cookware. I am enjoying using the other products for cooking, and baking. These are my own opinions about the products I had the chance to try courtesy of T-fal.
