I don’t mean to brag, but eh-hem, I’m an award winner.
Yep, it’s true. A winner of a blue ribbon. Utah State Fair. 4th grade. Yes, I said a STATE FAIR BLUE RIBBON. For my snickerdoodles recipe. Award winning baker I am.
Smudge and I were going through some old boxes over Christmas and she discovered the coveted contest winning ribbon. In her eyes my status jumped immediately into the stratosphere ie: the realms of iCarly and her beloved Big Time Rush. Yep, rock star status.
She’s been obsessing over why I was awarded the blue ribbon, my coveted Snickerdoodle recipe, and thus obsessing over us baking Snickerdoodles.
I have no idea where the recipe came from, maybe an easy-to-bake cookbook from 4-H, but it is seriously one of the best cookie recipes I’ve ever had. Light but moist, chewy and how easy is it to dump all of the ingredients into one bowl, mix and bake. It’s easier than buying store bought, pre-made, sausage-style cookie rolls.
Easy enough for a 4th grader (me), and now a 2nd grader (Smudge), to make.
I added a touch of chocolate to the recipe to dress it up a little, thanks to my obsession with chocolate.

Snickerdoodles with White Chocolate Chips
PrintIngredients
- 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¾ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅛ cup sugar
- ½ tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, sugar and eggs until creamy. Sift the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt into the sugar mixture and whisk to combine. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the white chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl, whisk the sugar with the cinnamon. Use a #24 scoop or 2 tablespoon scoops to portion the dough and roll into balls. Dip each ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture and place 6 dough balls on a lightly greased or parchment prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until cookies rise and crack on top. The cookies won't brown so be careful not to over bake. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

For Christmas, my 8 year old granddaughter, Addy, suggested crushing a candy cane to add to the cinnamon sugar. It tasted great and was very festive.

This was a wonderful recipe, everyone who tried them loved them. My son keeps trying to sneek all of them into his room. : )
Jodi
These cookies were amazing! Made them with my kids (3 and 6), they loved rolling them in the cinnamon sugar! We made them without the chips as we didn’t have them, and were perfect as is.
Mariana
What is 1 recipe of cinnamon sugar?

I baked snickerdoodles once and although they tasted great, they went soft very quickly (not sure if they are meant to). I love yours, with chocolate chips. Bookmarking to bake in the weekend!

Heidi @ Bits of Sunshine
I have never had snickerdoodles before and have ALWAYS been curious about them! I think those cupcakes look divine! She piped that icing on in such an irresistable way!
Roxana GreenGirl { A little bit of everything}
congratulations on your award! I love snickerdoodles and your cookies sound delish!
And the snickerdoodle round-up, yum yum yum!
Jacquie
I made the Snickerdoodle cookies with white chocolate this evening and they turned out really nice! They are a fluffy and moist cookie.
I added allspice and cardamom to the flour for an extra bit of kick!
They only difference for me is that the cookies didn’t spread out as yours did in the picture. They remained fairly round in shape. Nevermind though, they tasted just as good in my mouth!
Awesome! I wonder if yours weren’t as thin thanks to my high altitude. I know I have trouble getting things to rise, opposite of your experience. Check out this post and try doing the opposite, maybe starting with adding a 1/2tsp of baking powder.
Jacquie
That is a good point because come to think of it, most times if I do not have baking powder in a cookie recipe, my cookies will not spread. They remain nice round balls unless I flatten them. And I know due to where I live, I have to shave a good few minutes off my baking time as to not over-cook anything I do.
This recipe is a keeper so I will give it another try with the baking powder suggestion. Thanks!
Cookie and Kate
Snickerdoodles are my favorite! I used to be an extra-thin version as a kid, but mine didn’t win any rewards! Yours look fantastic.
Oh honey, give these bad boys a try and you’ll never go thin again. And you can clean up with that new dishwasher of yours ;)
Simply Tia
Sending this recipe to my little sister. She will absolutely love me for that!!! They look beautiful.
Awesome Tia! Is she a snickerdoodle queen? They were always my face as a kid, who doesn’t love cinnamon sugar doused everything?
Cassie
I want all of these. Can’t wait to try your award winning snickerdoodles, they are my favorite. And that cake looks to-die-for!

Heidi! I love snickerdoodles, I used to be kind of an addict when it came to them. I just might have to re-ignite the obsession. Thanks for this post.
P.S. I can’t believe how big your little girl is getting-beautiful. (I have a slurry of red headed friends, I say ‘I collect red heads!’)
