Sometimes a crazy, over-the-top dessert is just what you need. Other times, it’s a simple, classic dessert that hits the spot.
These Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies are just that kind of simple, classic dessert. They’re slightly crispy at the edges and soft and chewy in the middle.
They puff up while they’re baking and then cool down to the nicely crackly top that snickerdoodles should have.
Sandwich a scoop of ice cream in between two cookies for a yummy summer treat!
