Snickerdoodles
The baking bug had bit me, and yet I had no idea what to make. I was thinking about making some sort of cinnamon-y cookies and that’s when I thought “Snickerdoodles!” I remembered a few months back while checking out my good friend Shelby’s blog over at Grumpy’s Honeybunch. She had this really fantastic cooking light snickerdoodle recipe. This cookie was calling my name and I just had to bake them right away! I made a couple of adaptations to this recipe by using Splenda sugar brand since I watch my sugar intake. These cookies came out slightly crisp round the edges and has a nice, sweet, and buttery cinnamon flavor baked to pure perfection. Don’t take my word for it, feast your eyes on these yummy photos.
Snickerdoodles: Cooking Light
- 3/4 cup Splenda baking sugar
- 2/3 cup Splenda brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup Splenda baking sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a medium bowl
Beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy
Beat in vanilla and egg
The sugar mixture will be smooth and creamy
Combine flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt
Stir the dry ingredients well with a whisk
Add flour mixture to butter mixture
Beat until combined
This dough is extremely light and kind of sticks to your fingers a bit, but it’s not messy at all.
Combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small shallow dish
Shape dough into balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar
Place about 1-2 inches apart on a non-stick baking sheets and flatten the cookies with a fork
Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Cool on pans 1 minute. I know the cookies came out semi-attached to each other, but they come off the pan really nicely and separate quite easily too.
Shelby, these cookies were so good that they were gone within four days! No joke 
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
I’m feasting! I wish I could feast my mouth on them! These are one of my favorites and I haven’t made them in so long!
I haven’t been getting your updates – the last one I have is for your potato latkes. Sorry I haven’t been visiting – I thought maybe you were still sick. Did you change anything?
I just checked to see if I missed any posts but I guess I really haven’t. I made a mistake! Hope your feeling better!
Ah childhood memories. Love them when they are still warm and chewy!
A classic cookie. Perfect for the holidays. Have you ever had issues with baked goods not rising when you use Splenda?
I have no issues with splenda sugar with rising, I find it works perfectly!
Glad you liked them Jessie!

I love cinnamon, thanks for sharing this recipe using Splenda, Jessie
I used to make these with my mum when I was little. I remember the smell, and the texture, and I remember we never had American measuring cups so we just used a mug.
I’ll have to make some at Christmas!
I LOVE snickerdoodles! Looking at these makes me wanna bake some today. Maybe
