Brown Sugar Snickerdoodles
by Brava Chef Travis
About this Recipe
Snickerdoodles are one of Chef Travis’ favorite cookies, and he says this recipe is the best he’s ever made. The addition of brown sugar adds subtle hints of molasses and softer, chewy texture. If you prefer traditional snickerdoodles, just replace the brown sugar with granulated sugar. Store the dough refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 year.
