Snickerdoodles aren’t too sweet, almost like a sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar but for two.
By now you should know how much I love “cookies for two” I won’t tell you why they are so great because I’ve done that twice already now with my chocolate chip cookies for two and my peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for two. So why wouldn’t I do a snickerdoodle cookies for two recipe too?
But I will tell you why I love snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles aren’t too sweet, but they are almost like a sugar cookies (actually the cream of tartar is the only real difference) rolled in cinnamon sugar. And I love cinnamon sugar.
I love cinnamon swirled bread, I love cinnamon rolls, I love cinnamon sugar toast. Cinnamon + sugar. Genius combination. And these cookies are delicious too.
I like these snickerdoodles for two more than my regular snickerdoodle recipe, which I think I may have to redo now in case we ever want more than 4 cookies – you know?

Fantastic! I’ve been wanting to try gluten free flour mix in snickerdoodles and this would be the perfect way. If it doesn’t work, I’m not out a whole batch.
Deja says
I made these last night, but they didn’t turn out as I hoped. They ended up being very puffy and bready, instead of flat and chewy. Maybe I should have flattened the cookies out before baking them? I don’t know. Anyway, these were delicious, and I’ll try them again soon 🙂
Aimee Berrett says
hmm, maybe my baking soda isnt as active as yours. I would recommend slightly flattening the balls next time before the bake and hopefully that will help fix your problem 🙂

I’m not a snickerdoodle fan, but these sure are pretty! I love recipes that make such a small amount. I need them. I’m a glutton 😉
Aimee Berrett says
Thank you Yvonne! Although I can’t imagine not liking snicker doodles, I agree that the small amount of cookie saves me from gluttony 😉
