Notes

  • *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • If you don't have salted butter, just use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt.
  • I grease and line the baking pan or tin with butter (or cooking spray) and parchment paper (baking paper) rather than aluminium foil as I find it doesn't tear as easily.
  • The best snickerdoodles aren't overbaked. Just like other baked goods such as brownies or blondies, this will help them stay moist.
