Tips for Perfect Snickerdoodle Cookies

To ensure your snickerdoodle cookies turn out thick and chewy, follow these tips:

• Use softened butter: Softened butter will create a smoother dough and create a softer cookie texture.
• Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix the ingredients until just combined.
• Chill the dough: If you have time, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping and baking. Chilled dough spreads less, resulting in thicker cookies.
• Roll the dough balls evenly: Consistent size will ensure even baking.
• Let the cookies cool: Allowing the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them will help them set and maintain their shape.
