Snickerdoodles

It's Christmas cookie season!  Whoop Whoop!  These snickerdoodles may not look like the traditional "Christmas Cookie", but they're one of the most requested cookies that I make.  What better way to kick off the holiday baking season that with a buttery, sweet, crispy on the outside and chewy inside with a hearty dose of cinnamon on the crackled top -- cookie.  Snickerdoodles --- am I right?

This is a really basic snickerdoodle recipe.  Very straightforward and uber delicious.  The best part about this recipe is that you can make as much dough as you like and freeze it until you have a snickerdoodle emergency.   I take my snickerdoodle dough balls straight from the freezer and pop them into the oven and I've got warm, fresh snickerdoodle cookies in under 20 minutes!  #cookieaddict

Is my odd numbered cookie baking technique bothering anyone else as much as it is me?  I made a batch and a half of this delicious dough and I ended up with 29 cookies!  My type A personality had a really hard time with that. 🤪 I ended up freezing 16 cookies for Christmas and baking the 13 remaining snickerdoodles.  I normally bake 6 cookies at a time but I didn't have an extra 13 minutes to wait on the last cookie to bake so I decided to squeeze it onto my baking sheet.  Even though it disrupted my compulsive need for organization - I got all 13 cookies baked in 30 minutes.  #OCDproblems
