Snickerdoodle cookies are a traditional cookie packed with cinnamon sugar flavor and a little tanginess in every soft and chewy bite, but having them miniaturized? Genius! The only thing better than giant cookies is mini-sized ones!

This snickerdoodle cookie dough is very easy to make, as you could expect. Homemade snickerdoodle cookies are among the easier cookies to make, but the trick to these is the size of the cookie dough balls.

Getting the cookie dough scooped into the perfect small size to where they aren’t small enough to burn and they aren’t too big to get cooked through is a real trick.

I recommend using a cookie scooper. A 1-inch cookie scoop works perfectly for getting uniform-sized cookie dough balls so that all of them turn out exactly the same as the last.

If you don’t have a scooper handy, you can always use a tablespoon measuring spoon and then roll them with your hands.

What’s the difference between snickerdoodles and sugar cookies?

While snickerdoodles might be a type of sugar cookie, they really do stand apart. Snickerdoodle cookies have a tangy and chewy bite to them thanks to the cream of tartar and are covered in cinnamon sugar.

Sugar cookies normally don’t have cinnamon or cream of tartar in their ingredients list.

Cutest cookie helper in all the land.

How to make mini snickerdoodles

  • In a shallow dish or pie plate whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Preheat your oven to 375F degrees.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (this takes about 2 minutes).
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add in the milk and vanilla, beating until combined.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients.
  • Mix everything together until the dough comes together, remembering to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Check on the consistency of the dough, you may need to add in a few tablespoons of flour. You want the dough to be able to be touched by your fingers without sticking.
  • Form the dough into 1 inch balls and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place 12 dough balls on a cookie sheet and then gently press the tops with the bottom o a glass until the cookies are flattened to about ½ an inch thick.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and the middles still look slightly under baked.

Notes

These cookies are great to freeze if you don’t need 4 dozen. Portion out the dough, place it on a parchment lined cookie sheet and flash freeze it for about 30 minutes. After you flash freeze, transfer them to a zipper top bag.
When you want to bake up the frozen ones, just place 12 frozen dough portions per cookie sheet {greased or parchment lined} and bake at 350 degrees F {instead of 375 degrees F like in the recipe} and halfway through baking briefly remove from the oven and gently press a cross-hatch into the top. Bake them a bit longer, 10-14 minutes. They will still turn out perfect!
