    This easy snickerdoodle recipe makes cookies that are a great snack or dessert. They pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk.

    The warm cinnamon flavors really makes these soft cookies shine. They may be my new favorite cookie - or at least tied with our Chocolate Chip Cookies.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: Use room-temperature eggs which will result in a more tender cookie.

    Tip 2: Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on the baking sheet will keep cookies from sticking and make clean-up easy.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    What size cookie scoop did you use for cake mix snickerdoodle cookies?

    I use a medium cookie scoop that fits 2 tablespoons of cookie dough. This makes 1-inch balls.

    How do you store snickerdoodle cookies made with cake mix?

    You can store these in an airtight container for up to five days. You can freeze them in between pieces of parchment paper for 2-3 months.

    Why are my snickerdoodles flat?

    Since oven temperatures vary, you might want to try lowering the temperature by 5 degrees for the second batch. Also, greasing the pan can cause the cookie dough to spread. Parchment paper will be enough to keep the cookies from sticking.
