Old-school snickerdoodles suggestions
The key to a perfect snickerdoodle is the contrast between the crisp outside and tender within. Having slightly larger rolled balls or baking for less time can make them softer on the inside, but may affect the crust. Once your pancakes or churros have cooled, you may sprinkle them with more cinnamon sugar, the ideal finishing touch.
Traditional soetkoekie recipes are a great way to resurrect good times and fond memories. These old-school snickerdoodles will satisfy your late-night want for something sweet.
