Notes
- This recipe requires a 400 degree oven. Trust me on this! I know it's a higher temp than most of my easy recipes, but it works.
- Don't cook for more than eight minutes! Snickerdoodles are not meant to be crunchy.
- Keep rolling into your cinnamon sugar mixture. No harm in rolling twice to give them an extra bit of sugar and spice and everything nice!
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. It helps create an even heat and really makes such a difference in these easy snickerdoodle cookies!
