A couple weeks ago, I shared my favorite snickerdoodle recipe, and if you’re looking to bake for a crowd or stock your freezer with cookie dough, I really, really love those cookies, but for my small-batch friends, today I have a snickerdoodle recipe just for you. Let’s make some Small-batch Snickerdoodles.
These are not just a small-batch version of the cookies I posted last month. They’re a completely different breed of snickerdoodle. They’re thin and a little bendy, chewy with crispy edges and the perfect blend of sweet cinnamon spiciness and slight snickerdoodle tang. I love them, and I really love that this recipe only makes six, because, oh man, are they addicting. They’re also a cinch to make. Technically they require two bowls since you need something to put the cinnamon sugar in for rolling, but the cookie dough is made all in one bowl with your usual sugar cookie ingredients plus cream of tartar. Cream of tartar is an essential snickerdoodle ingredient; it’s what gives them that little tangy kick that makes a snickerdoodle a snickerdoodle. BUT, if you don’t have it (and don’t want to buy it), feel free to omit it. Instead of really good small-batch snickerdoodles, you’ll have really good small-batch cinnamon sugar cookies. And that’s nothing to complain about.
If it’s been a long week and you need a sweet little pick-me-up, these cookies might be just the thing you’re looking for. Looking for more cookie recipes?
