Puffy Snickerdoodle Cookies

December 21, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

There are three cookies that I love!  #1 Chocolate Chip Cookies!  Oh yeah chocolate chip cookies, so good!  #2 Peanut Butter Cookies!  I don’t think there is a PB cookie that I have met that I haven’t loved.  #3 Snickerdoodles!  LOVE my snickerdoodles!  They are such a simple cookie, so buttery, perfect sweetness and just plain good!!  So today, first time ever on PB andP, I am sharing with you the Classic Snickerdoodle cookie.
Puffy Snickerdoodle Cookies
I have to tell you I am the queen of puffy cookies! I don’t know what it is, but almost all of my cookies turn out puffy. Not that I find that an issue, but it’s the truth. I don’t know what I do, but puffy they become. I have had this with cookie recipes I have created and ones I have made from cookbooks. Matter in fact, Little Jenny made Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, and they turned out flat, crunchy and buttery. She offered one to her Dad and he turned it down and said their flat! lol Yes, my Husband wont eat a flat cookie anymore because he is so used to puffs!
Puffy Snickerdoodle Cookies
But my little Puffy Snickerdoodles are the perfect kind of puff. They look like little snowballs and are just perfect for the holidays. These cookies are super easy to make, they are light, airy and have the perfect buttery taste that just melts in your mouth. I am a big fan of Snickerdoodles and honestly I don’t make them enough. Actually the last time I made them was two years ago. That is crazy!!! What is wrong with me? My top 3 cookies and I make them every other year? That has to change and pronto!

Puffy Snickerdoodle Cookies
When I went to make these cookies, I noticed I only had one stick of butter so I had to half my batch. Sigh…. When I went to get my sugar, it was just about gone. It was almost not meant to be, but then I realized I had some Truvia so I used those in my cookies and rolled my cookies in the little amount of granulated sugar that I had left. They turned out great and low-calorie! Only 46 calories a cookie and less than a gram of sugar! Awesome! Wish I made these for me, but I didn’t! I made them to send to my Mom! Hope she likes them!
Puffy Snickerdoodle Cookies
Well my Friends, I have one more cookie post to share and I think (you never know)I am cookied out! I have had and baked so many cookies the past couple of weeks, and I can’t get enough workouts in to make up for cookie belly! Thank goodness January is almost here and that means time to get fit!!!

Well my Friends have a great weekend! I’ll be spending my day finishing or should I say starting my Christmas shopping!

Happy Holidays to you!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Hi, You sound a lot like me when it comes to the cookies turning out puffy. The reason is the butter. When you refrigerate the dough, the butter sets and does not make the dough soft like true “room temp” butter does. most people throw this on-the-verge-of melted butter in the cookies, but really when you mix it in, it should still be quite cold and then either refrig the dough or the cookies raw on the tray before baking. I read that somewhere, not sure where…but its always worked for me.

    Hi Jennifer.

    Tried your recipe which did come out fluffy but not round balls like yours. What kind of baking sheet do you use?

      Put your cookies on a chilled parchment lined cookie sheet.

      I always bake a test cookie when trying a new recipe to see how they react 🙂

    Do you bake these on a cold baking sheet or room temp?

    So this recipe not only didn’t make 35 cookies worth of batter, unless you have miniature cookies. I fallowed your instructions to the T and they did not turn out fluffy at all. Disappointed.

    I made these exactly as the recipe is written. Chilled the dough overnight. Chilled the cookie sheets.Baked for 9 minutes, not 10 because they were so thin I didn’t want them to burn. I did get 34 cookies but they did not stay like little balls. They puffed, then flattened. They are good, but not being little fluffy balls, this is just another average snickerdoodle recipe. They taste ok but disappointed that they don’t look like the recipe. Paper thin cookies are not fluffy!

Hello Tuesday! We’ve had some nice weather this Hello Tuesday!  We’ve had some nice weather this week. It must have hit 70 yesterday. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Next week it’s supposed to back in the 50’s with chance of rain. Well at least I won’t have to worry about watering my garden.
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my Easter tablescapes. I wanted to go simple. I feel when there’s too much on the table, you have a hard time seeing the people across from you. Plus my table is only 5’ long, so I don’t have a lot of space.
🐰
I’m loving the blues and greens. It’s such a pretty color for Spring. I had a whole blue tablescape idea in my mind, but I’m having problems finding pieces that I like. I sure miss Pier1. That was my go to place for table setting decor.
🐰
What are your favorite colors for Spring?

🌸
I sure had a busy weekend. We had 5 yards of top soil delivered and my husband wheel barreled it all to the backyard. My new garden bed is just about ready for planting. I’m so excited!
🌸
Yesterday I worked on a bunch of photos to share this week. I must have formatted over a 100 pictures. No, I won’t be sharing that many. It’s just hard to find the right one. I’m sure you know what I mean.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos for the month of February.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for March, because I have no idea. Lol
🌸
What are you looking most forward to this month?

I just need a couple of little things, like a rug and some towels. Thank you so much for your suggestions. You put bad ideas in my head, but in a good way. Lol
🌸
I’m sharing with you my floral arrangement that I shared in a reel Monday. I just love it so much. It’s going to be the centerpiece to my Spring dining table. So it’ll make an another appearance soon. If I ever finish my table.

I also have to share with you the cute bunnies that I bought from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. I love them so much. The whitewash and flowers stole my heart. I just love bunnies. I may have gone bunny crazy this season.

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?
