Grandma’s Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe
If you’re in the midst of baking cookies this week, then you need to add this recipe to your list! It’s Grandma’s old-fashioned, mouth-watering, delicious snickerdoodle cookies. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love them. You will not be disappointed with this snickerdoodle cookie recipe!
I remember when I was little, my grandma would make these from scratch. She’d roll out the dough, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it, wrap some in wax paper, and let me eat it. Yes, raw cookie dough. I’m not advocating that, but I can tell you those memories of Grandma’s special cookie dough are dear to me.

How should we store these and for how long? Can these be made ahead and/or frozen?
I know you can make the dough and freeze it, but I’ve never tried freezing the cookies myself. I imagine you could. The way we store them is in layers with wax paper in between each layer in an air tight container. We also put a piece of bread in with them to soak up any moisture and prevent them from getting soggy. I’m not an expert at baking, but this is how my grandma taught me to do it and it has worked for us. 🙂 Also, we’ve never had to store them long because they get gobbled up quickly in our family. 😉 I hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by.
