Delicious, soft snickerdoodle cookies that require no chill time!

My sister and I shared snickerdoodles the other day, and lamented the fact that they’re so easy to cook flat as a pancake (and then they end up really hard).  So when I saw this recipe from Back for Seconds, I knew I had to try it out.

Even better than just being soft was the fact that this recipe requires no chilling the dough!  I typically start baking because I want to eat what I’m baking, so chill time isn’t my favorite.  I love that I can skip it for this recipe!

These turned out just like I was wanting.  Soft in the middle, sweet and cinnamon, delicious.

The original soft snickerdoodle cookie recipe recommends making mini cookies, but I prefer to use my cookie scoop. 

I tried one pan with just scooping them and then rolling in the cinnamon sugar, and another where I scooped and then rolled the dough in my hands before rolling it in the cinnamon sugar, and my family all agreed that the ones that were hand rolled looked better.  But they all tasted great!

This recipe made almost 4 dozen regular sized cookies.  It’s a good thing it makes so many, since you’ll find it hard to eat just one soft snickerdoodle cookie!

For the Cookie Batter

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

• 2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 3 1/4 cups flour

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º.
