"The snickerdoodles are as close to the Mrs. Field’s recipe (my personal gold standard) that I’ve been able to replicate at home. Slightly chewy around the edges with soft, pillowy centers. I underbake by a minute or two to ensure the centers are extra soft. Underbaking helps the cookies stay softer and fresher over time, but bake longer if you prefer more well-done or firmer cookies. They’re buttery with a light cinnamon-sugar coating. Cream of tartar gives the cookies lift, lightness, provides the classic snickerdoodle flavor, and it’s key. Chill the dough before baking so your cookies back up thick and full. My new favorite and best snickerdoodle recipe I've tried...."
