I’m actually surprised I haven’t posted this recipe before. Yes, everyone has a snickerdoodle recipe, but these are by far the BEST recipe I have ever tried. And I’ve tried a lot. But I’ve been making these for my husband almost every weekend for years, only because he begs me too. He loves them. No, he worships them. They are scrumptious! Give them a try!
And just a heads up for all of you lovely Utah-ns. Is that what we call ourselves? Anyways, I was asked by a local news talk show (Studio 5) to do a cooking segment on Thursday the 22nd at 11:00 if you want to tune in. This is my very first EVER cooking segment and I am super nervous, but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I’m really excited. I will also be having a little chat with the hosts about us Foodies, who we are and why we do what we do. If anyone more experienced than me has any advice for me, I would love it more than anything!!! So, if you live here in Utah, tune in! Channel 5, KSL, Studio 5. Have a great week!
Snickerdoodles
makes 3 dozen
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tarter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in eggs. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated.
3. Mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Shape in to 1 1/2 inch balls and dip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Do not over bake or they will be too crispy. Bake just until light and golden.
I love snickerdoodles!
Good luck on your cooking segment. Wish I could tune in! Be sure to post how it went and all about the experience… I love that stuff!
Hi! I’ve been drooling over your blog for a year or so and don’t think I’ve ever commented, but I just had to tell you that you will do GREAT on Studio 5. I have been on Studio 5 and most recently went on Good Things Utah for my company. My only advice is relax, as impossible as that is to do. If you can, get there as early as possible and just WATCH them get ready on set. Just being there and soaking it all in for a while helps you realize how small the set really is. It looks so big on TV, but they have “scenes” set up in every corner, it’s crazy. Just be yourself, don’t look at the camera, just act like you’re talking to Brooke and Darren like they’re old friends and they’ll make you look GREAT. That’s their job. They never prep you enough to go on tv. I think it’s such “old hat” for them, they don’t realize how nerve-racking it can be for the rest of us who don’t go on TV every day. That 5 minute segment will go by so fast that when it’s over, you’ll think “why did i just freak out for 2 weeks over doing that? that was fun and easy!”
I can’t wait to watch, you’ll do great!
I go thru periods where I post and then it’s a while before I do. I would love to be more like the regulars. I never tasted Snickerdoodles before. They look so yummy.
Hey Stephanie! I watch Studio 5 all the time. I’ll be watching Thursday! Can’t wait to see what you will be cooking. Good luck and have fun!!
One of my favourite cookies and I like how simple your recipe is. Totally going to give it a try.
I love snickerdoodles! and I don’t have a recipe, so thanks.
Good luck with your cooking segment, just remember to have fun!
I didn’t know you were in Utah!! I’ll definitely tune in. That is so exciting!
The cookies look yummy!
I’m a CA girl, can we still be friends?
I won’t get to see you. I wish you so much luck. You’re so brave!
I have to try these since my family craves Snickerdoodles too. I will let you know the verdict.
Again, GOOD LUCK!
Never tried this kind of cookies. It surely looks yummy especially with the cinnamon.
This is my favorite Snickerdoodle recipe too, it’s a good one.
Studio 5 is my favorite show–can’t wait to see you in action tomorrow! I love your blog, it will be great to “see” you in person. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do a fabulous job!
Oh Steph what wonderful news. You will do awesome…you’re a natural I bet. Plus you have lots of fans out here that will support you with good vibes!
I have been looking for a good snickerdoodle recipe and this is one I have not tried before. Thanks for all the good recipes. I love Studio 5 and I watch the show everyday. You will be awesome.
Is there a substitute for cream of tartar? If I don’t use it, will the texture (and taste) still be okay?
Also, are these cookies soft or hard?
They look awesome! I want to make some now!
I was on Good Things Utah right before Thanksgiving and it was scary. I still watch the clip and just laugh at how nervous I was. So…just remember to smile and be yourself and don’t act nervous. You will do fine!
Good luck on Studio 5. You’ll do great! Glad you are feeling better and back to baking!
I think you’ll be great! I don’t live in Utah so I can’t watch but good luck from me anyway. I love your website and am grateful for it all the time. I just have one question for you: do you have any quick freezer recipies? I just got a great one from a friend for chocolate cookies. She freezes the dough into a bar, that later you can cut up to make 12 cookies in a hurry. It’s nice to have when my hubby needs treats for work or home teaching(and tells me at the last minute). So I make up 3 batches at a time and have enough cookies for a really long time. I would love other recipes like that. Just an idea.
I just watched the segment…hot dog muffin cups? Really now. But the apple cinnamon bread cups that you made looked totally tasty. And 20,000 hits? You’ve made it to the big time! Great job on TV today!
I was so excited to see you on Studio 5 today! You did an awesome job!!!! I hope they make you a regular!
Hey Stephanie…WOW!!! Just watched you on Studio 5…you did AWESOME!!!! So fun to watch you and see how well you are doing with your passion for food! Talked with Jamie this am…she was so sad that she can’t get KSL back there…she hopes someone “taped” it (that tells you that it would NOT be me…I am lucky to just get the TV on, with all the remotes it takes!!) Anyway…Congratulations!!! You were really amazing…bet Nate is so proud!!
You did a great job on Studio 5 today! You looked like a pro! How fun for you to be chosen to represent the Utah foodies!
Stephanie! You did such a great job on Studio 5! And I so want to try that recipe. I’d love your blog!
Yes you were awesome on Studio 5 – I`ll defintily be peeking in on your blog from now on!
I just finished watching your tv debut! GREAT JOB! You’re a natural! I had no idea some of my favorite fellow “foodies” were right here in Utah! So cool!
I heard about you for the first time on Studio 5 this morning. I was getting ready to make snickerdoodles and saw your recipe on-line. I made them just an hour ago. Yum! But is the dough supposed to be so crumbly or did I do something wrong?
Good job. You made this fellow blogger proud. How do you get 20,000 hits a day? That’s amazing.
Stephanie – fantastic job on Studio 5 today. Really, you didn’t seem nervous at all!! I was very impressed and your bread pudding muffin cups looked wonderful. Thanks for the plug you gave my blog. That was a fun surprise!
I’m Steph’s mom and you can watch her big debut on ksl.com type in Studio 5 and click on recipes. Steph you did a great job. Love ya bunches Mom

You did amazing on Studio 5. You are a natural. I also love food, to cook, bake and eat!! I am excited to find your blog and hopefully follow some of the others from your site.

You did a super job on Studio 5! I love seeing fellow bloggers get their time in the sun!
Those are the most beautiful snickerdoodles I’ve ever seen! Hope your studio visit was fun… I would have loved to have seen it
Yay Steph!! You did a fantastic job on KSL! I was super impressed and you looked absolutely darling. Those apple bread puddings you made are calling my name.
Thanks SO much for mentioning my blog (even if the guy couldn’t pronounce it : ) I thought that was funny! You are a total sweetheart. I am so happy for you that your blog is doing so well.
I am a dork. I wanted to tell you that your snickerdoodles look great too. I will definitely give them a try since I’m still hunting for “that” recipe.
Hey Steph, I made these cookies today and they were delicious. Both my kids ate 3 right out of the oven! I have never been a snickerdoodle fan but they are the best I have ever had. We also made your bacon ranch chicken and we love it. We loved it so much we served it to company a few days ago! I love your blog and love trying your stuff. I had no idea you were such a great cook. If I had known, I would have had you bring some goods to GW!
snickerdoodles give me such great childhood memories!!! i love those cookies
You were great on Studio 5!! And snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies – YUM!
Wow. I’ve only been here five minutes and every picture and recipe I’ve looked at has me drooling. This is a very dangerous and wonderful place. I’m glad I found you!
I am going to try these since you say they are the best. I love snickerdoodles! Maybe I will throw in some cinnamon chips too!
Thanks for posting recipe I thought I would check you sight out I read about you the the Salt Lake Trib a few weeks ago keep up the great work.
My husband’s favorite cookie is snickerdoodles.
Awesome for you to be on Channel 5. Used to live in Utah (Kansas now) and watched all the time. Good luck! Can’t wait to hear about what you make!
Stephanie, it is so GREAT to see a fellow Utahn Mom who loves to cook and bake! You are right, these snickerdoodles are a family hit!
I started my blog last Oct. after teaching small breadmaking classes at my home. I would love any feedback…thanks!
I just made these and they are so yummy! thank you! I think I’m going to use my leftover buttercream frosting from Bakerella and frost these babies!
You were right. These are perfect. I knew I could come here and find a recipe for my husband’s favorite cookie. Thanks lady.
