Say goodbye to complicated snickerdoodle cookies and have delicious homemade cookies any old day with these thin and chewy simple snickerdoodle cookies!

Super simple snickerdoodle cookies that you can make in one bowl and in less than 30 minutes! Snickerdoodles for the win!It’s spring break here and the girls are both home all day every day, which I love; I really do, but they get bored and then they pester me. So I’ve been trying to come up with helpful for me things to keep them busy. Since they both like working in the kitchen, especially Hannah, who is in her second year of culinary class at school, I’ve been having them take over a lot of the cooking (and baking!).

Both girls are more than willing to jump in and do the cooking/baking part, but it’s funny how after it’s all said and done, I’m the only one left in the kitchen. It’s like I’m on permanent clean-up duty around here.

With that in mind, recipes with minimal bowls are ideal. And as you can imagine, we’ve been having lots of one-pot, one-bowl, or sheet pan meals lately!

Super simple snickerdoodle cookies that you can make in one bowl and in less than 30 minutes! Snickerdoodles for the win!Oh, and speaking of one-bowl recipes, these simple snickerdoodle cookies one too! I know, I almost can’t believe it myself – snickerdoodle cookies in one bowl and in less than 30 minutes. It’s a dream come true (and that means only one bowl and two cookie sheets for me to clean – WOOO!).

These simple snickerdoodle cookies are of the thin variety. Their texture is light and chewy. Trust me when I say that they’re the best when eaten while still warm. If you’re anything like me, you won’t be able to resist them!

This recipe makes only a couple of dozen cookies (though you can easily double it to make more), so the cookies won’t last long, making them perfect for a quick sweet treat that doesn’t feed a bazillion people.

The best things about this snickerdoodle recipe:

  • You can make it all in one bowl.
  • It takes less than 30 minutes to make them from start to finish.
  • You can add more or less topping to make them as snickerdoodle-y as you want!
  • The recipe is small-batch and only makes 24 cookies.
  • Each cookie is only about 100 calories!

Next time you have cookie craving or need to make cookies urgently (hey, it happens!), give these simple snickerdoodle cookies a try – they won’t disappoint!

    I seem to have exactly the same issue in my kitchen. My daughter loves the cooking, but hates the cleaning up. And I swear she uses every dish and utensil in the process. I particularly like the fact your recipe only uses one bowl, so I am putting this recipe in a prominent position for her next baking session 😀
