Snickerdoodle Cookies Recipe

I love snickerdoodles! Not only are they delicious, but they are quite frugal too since you can make them from pantry staples.

Making snickerdoodles is one of my son’s favorite activities. I hand him a ball of dough and then he rolls it in the cinnamon-sugar before placing them on the cookie sheet. Sometimes I add a little cinnamon to the cookie dough instead of just on the outside to give it an even stronger cinnamon flavor.

Since our family is gluten-free, when I make snickerdoodles,  I use the Gluten-Free Homemaker’s Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe. However, I realize most of you can use regular all-purpose flour, so I asked Melissa to share her recipe with us:

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
