Eggs may also sometimes be used as an ingredient, with cream of tartar and baking soda added to leaven the dough. Snickerdoodle are characterized by a cracked surface and can be crisp or soft depending on preference. Snickerdoodle are often referred to as "sugar cookies". However, traditional sugar cookies are often rolled in white sugar whereas snickerdoodles are rolled in a mixture of white sugar and cinnamon.

New-Fashioned Snickerdoodles
If you think snickerdoodles are simply cinnamon sugar cookies, think again. Properly made, they have crispier edges and chewier middles, with a rich and tender crumb beneath their shimmery crusts. Those qualities once came from cutting butter with hydrogenated shortening, but I prefer virgin coconut oil: Its subtle aroma heightens both the cinnamon and the vanilla, while keeping the snickerdoodles rich, moist, and chewy.
