Snickerdoodle FAQ:
Can I Freeze Snickerdoodles Cookies?
Yes! You can freeze either the cooked cookies OR cookie dough. (I told you that this was the best snickerdoodle recipe!)
For the cookies: place in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat them, just remove from the freezer and place on the counter until unfrozen.
For the dough: place cookie dough balls in an airtight container or freezer bag and place in the freezer. You can then take out cookies as you’d like to bake them and actually bake the frozen dough right in the oven!
I’ll actually do this when I’m making a double batch or for my second batch. It’s a great way to save on bake time the next time! And these chewy snickerdoodles unthaw perfectly!
How do I keep Snickerdoodle Cookies Soft?
Do NOT over bake your cookies. Bake them for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool ON the cookie sheet. Once cool, remove and add to a cooling rack.
To keep them soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container. Throw in a little piece of bread into the container with your cookies. These cookies can stay fresh when stored in an airtight container at room temp for about 3 days.
How do you keep the cookies from sticking to the pan?
To keep the cookies from sticking to the baking pan, you can line it with parchment paper. This is an easy way to keep the pan clean, too!
Can you make the dough ahead of time?
You can. Before you use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, just leave the dough in a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and put it into the fridge. When you’re ready to use it, just scrape it off the sides of the bowl and scoop it onto your baking sheet.
