Snow Day Snickerdoodles

"Snow Day" Snickerdoodles
We took full advantage of the snow day to bake Snickerdoodles - one of my favorite cookies. Though, come to think of it, all cookies are tied for first in that list.

We used a fairly standard recipe - I'll let you choose your own. But the tip I want to pass along is this.

Be sure to give the dough a rest in the fridge before rolling the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, As little as 30 minutes will do the trick.

Be sure to rest these in the fridge before rolling!
This will firm up the butter, preventing the cookies from spreading too thin before setting while they bake. If you can rest them longer - even overnight - you will gain the benefit of additional flavor complexity. But I understand if you can't wait that long.


Enjoy!
