🍪 What’s the Difference Between Snickerdoodles and Sugar Cookies?
While snickerdoodles are often referred to as a type of sugar cookie, there's a key difference that sets them apart:
 
Traditional sugar cookies are typically soft or crisp cookies rolled in plain white sugar before baking.
Snickerdoodles, on the other hand, are rolled in a blend of white sugar and cinnamon, giving them their signature flavor and golden, crackled appearance.
In addition, snickerdoodles often include cream of tartar, which adds a subtle tang and helps create their chewy texture and distinctive bite.
So while they share a base of buttery, sweet goodness — that cinnamon-sugar coating is what makes a snickerdoodle truly special.
