So easy to make and so delicious. I'll go through some of my favorite tips.
To achieve that perfectly chewy cookie, there are a few tips I like to use.
By whipping your butter and sugar together for 4-6 minutes you will emulsify your ingredients and add air to the cookie.
Chilling your cookie dough is essential to further blend your ingredients, but also helps to make for an even chewier cookie!
If you like a flatter snickerdoodle, you can chill your dough a shorter time and you can smush your dough balls before baking.
I use both cinnamon and nutmeg for this recipe as it adds a depth of flavor. You can omit the nutmeg if you don't like its flavor.
The bake time of the cookies can be the difference of a chewy/soft cookie or a crispier cookie. Cook on the shorter side of the time listed for a chewier cookie.
