Easy Snickerdoodle Recipe With Apple Spice
Easy Snickerdoodle Recipe: a tasty twist to the traditional cookie using a delicious apple spice mix for a Fall favorite cookie!
Easy Snickerdoodle Recipe
I’ve been experimenting with different recipes using my apple spice mix.
The flavor enhanced my apple spice smoothie, and now I spruced up some cookies using the same spice!
Apple spice mix has cinnamon in it just like you are used to tasting in the classic snickerdoodle cookie.
In addition, there are some extra spices; nutmeg, and allspice which gives it an extra oomph of flavor!
Delicious flavors, in fact!!
Snickerdoodles Made With Butter
Some recipes use shortening in the ingredient list, which will give you a fluffier cookie. My preference is to use real ingredients, so I stick with real butter!
This recipe couldn’t be easier to make cookies are light and buttery filled with the flavors of Fall, not to mention the warm smell, especially while baking!
Ways To Enjoy This Easy Snickerdoddle Recipe
Enjoy these the old fashioned way by dipping into a cold glass of milk or how about mixing a batch of hot cocoa mix and serve warm!
Do you entertain during the holiday season? Be sure to add these to your cookie tray.
These also make a great welcome treat to a new neighbor or I’m always big on “Just because” treats.
Wouldn’t a dozen cookies be nice to give to a teacher, your UPS driving or mail carrier?
