Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper makes it easy to remove the cookies and prevents them from sticking.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Conclusion:

These lighter snickerdoodles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're in the mood for a classic cookie, give this recipe a try!
