Mom’s Signature Snickerdoodle Recipe

Mom’s Signature Snickerdoodle Recipe is timeless. The cookies are light and fluffy on the inside with just a little bit of crispiness on the outside. 

Mom's Signature Snickerdoodle Recipe

A big glass of milk, after school cartoons and a pile of my Mom’s signature snickerdoodle cookies and everything in the world was right. If only it could be that simple again.

Mom's Signature Snickerdoodle Recipe

What is simple is this timeless full-proof recipe. You can even make the dough ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and make a batch of hot delicious cookies. My Mom’s recipe calls for cream of tartar, which I just happened to have but had no idea why she used it. So I looked it up and learned that it acts as a stabilizer for eggs and it gives the cookies a bit of volume. These cookies are light and fluffy on the inside with just a little bit of crispiness on the outside.
