Snickerdoodles are my favourite cookies. You don't have to chill the dough, but you can for an hour.

When rolling the little balls in sugar and cinnamon, I put it in a margarine tub or something similar and just roll them in that quickly. They keep their shape and I can do more than one ball at a time.

Snickerdoodles are one of the best cookies dipped in hot tea. Something happens between the two flavors and it is amazing.

Answer 4

No need to chill the dough for snickerdoodles. Chilling is usually done with dough for cut-out sugar cookies.

Answer 5

for Xmas every year i make snicker doodles. it started with my grandma and is a family tradition.i have friends who request them. i never before had chilled them to this year. this year i was out of cream of tartar and couldn't get to the store til the next day.
i refrigerated over night and they were the best ever. i will always refrigerate over night now.

Answer 6

I usually dont' bother. You want them to spread a little, since that is what gives the cracks in the cinnamon surface. But an hour or two wouldnt' be bad. Just cover airtight.

Answer 7

I usually don't chill the dough at all, though you can chill to make it easier to handle if you want.

Answer 8

to be honest i made some last week and chilled them too long....they came out fine but didn't flatten out well....i don't think i'll chill them at all next time
