Before today I had never made a cookie with cinnamon.

Or without chocolate. I tried to make one the other day, but we all know how that turned out……. Chocolate Butter Pecan Cookies.

Cookie dough spiced up with cinnamon and rolled in cinnamon sugar? Holy Yum! Like let your stress melt away. What to cook for dinner, um Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, oh yeah and that work deadline will be all but forgotten after your first whiff.

See my mom is a complete chocoholic so growing up all of our desserts were covered, doused, or stuffed with chocolate. Pumpkin pie? Apple Pie? Cheesecake? No way, around our house it was chocolate, butter, sugar, peanut butter covered with chocolate and more chocolate.

Snickerddoodles are a pretty common holiday cookie so I figured I better give them a try. I mean anything with cinnamon, butter and sugar has to be good.

Traditionally most snickerdoodles are thin and crisp. Not these snickerdoodles! They are fat, fluffy and soft. And oh so delicious.

The perfect bite, it makes you feel all cozy inside! Gotta love holiday baking!

Just look at them they are so cute!

It is even rumored that these are one of Santa’s favorites and now I totally understand why!

  1. These were terrible, they were so bland, hard, and waayyy too much cinnamon. We ended up just throwing away the cookies.

    1. I am really sorry that turned out so bad for you. Are you sure you made them properly? I have not had anyone else say anything bad about these cookies. Again, I am really sorry they turned out so bad for you.

  3. Can I just say what a relief to find somebody who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know easy methods to bring an issue to light and make it very important. More people need to read this and know this side of the story. I cant think youre not more common because you unquestionably have the gift.

  4. Butter – salted or unsalted?
    I cannot wait to try these. I love fluffy snickerdoodles and have been looking for a recipe.

    1. Honestly, I know some people would be appalled, but I use both. I would prefer unsalted and when we have it I use it! But if salted is the only thing around I will use that! I do not ever taste a difference!

        1. I read somewhere that you baked them into a bar? Size pan? How long? Recipe adjustment?
