How to make Soft & Chewy Toffee Snickerdoodles

Step 1: Cream together the butter and sugar

Creaming them together for 2-3 minutes on medium speed is one thing that’ll help produce soft and chewy cookies. Mmmm-mmm.

Step 2: Mix in the eggs & vanilla

Just enough until everything’s mixed together. You don’t want to over-beat anything. Scrape the sides of the bowl, mix again, and then time to add the other dry ingredients. 

Step 3: Add dry ingredients

Once again, mix just until everything’s combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough cookies – you really only need to mix until your dough is an even consistency. 

Step 4: Chill!

Once you’ve made your dough, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for an hour. (You can chill for longer, but chilling for at least an hour will help produce really flavorful, soft, and chewy cookies!)

Step 5: Roll dough into balls and then into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar

Anytime I make cookies, I always these USA baking pans – I’ve been using the same pans for over 10 years because they bake my cookies so evenly and they pop right off the pan. I LOVE these pans! They’re definitely one of my biggest tips for producing evenly-baked, soft and chewy cookies!

Step 6: Bake at 350 for 9 minutes

Make a batch to share with others, or just enjoy a few fresh ones after supper with your fam and freeze the rest.

The standard for freezing cookies is usually 3-6 months, but let me tell you, cookies have never been around my house long enough for me to test that time range in the freezer!

Hope these soft & chewy toffee snickerdoodles bring some joy to everyone you share them with!
