I don’t think I have a favorite cookie anymore. These Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies are making it hard for me to choose! Ever since I started my little cookie project, I LOVE them all. The Mini Chocolate Chip cookies are a perfect little pick me up where as Texas Tea Cakes are there to remind me of my mama and all my aunts reminiscing over their childhood. The peanut butter cookies with Reese’s cups are rich and perfect straight out of the oven; a decadent experience when baked in a cast iron skillet topped with ice cream!

Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies

These snickerdoodles are the mature version of the little ones you got from the cafeteria back in elementary and middle school. Those snickerdoodles were just blah; barely sweet, never enough cinnamon, and kind of flat flat. THESE snickerdoodle cookies are sweet, warm, thick and chewy. They are SO good.
