Classic Snickerdoodle Cookies | Kita Roberts PassTheSushi

Sometimes all you need is a very simple, very basic hit for that sweet tooth. And these cinnamon coated cookies are perfect to kick that sugar craving in the booty.

If you have never tried a Classic Snickerdoodle, you really should. They are a simple sugar cookie rolled in a cinnamon sugar combo before being baked. Bonus, make the cinnamon sugar mix in bulk and have it on hand for a wonderful addition to breakfast toast from time to time (this was a much loved family staple growing up in our house) or sprinkle them a little on refrigerated dough before baking. Really, the possibilities are endless! All the more reason to whip up a batch of these, plus a little bit extra right now!
