Trisha Yearwood’s Snickerdoodles are ready in 35 minutes

For those who want freshly baked cookies in a hurry — who doesn’t? — this is the recipe to use. The dough for Yearwood’s Snickerdoodles, according to Food Network, takes 35 minutes to make from start to finish. Factoring in a few minutes to gather all the ingredients, measuring cups, and other equipment, it’s safe to say warm cookies will be available in under an hour. 

Additionally, the simplicity of Yearwood’s Snickerdoodles helps. Wet and dry ingredients go in separate bowls before they’re combined together to form the dough. Next comes the layer of cinnamon sugar on the outside and, finally, the cookies are baked.

How to make the Food Network star’s Snickerdoodles 

Featured on the “Holiday Cookie Party!” episode of Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, Yearwood demonstrated just how easy it is to whip up a batch of Snickerdoodles. Practically foolproof, she said “you can’t go wrong” with them. Plus, it’s an “easy dough to make.” 

The snickerdoodles start out like any other standard cookie recipe. Yearwood combines butter, sugar, and eggs in the bowl of a standing mixer. However, there is one not-so-standard cookie ingredient she also tosses in and that’s vegetable shortening. 

Next, comes measuring and sifting the dry ingredients. Then Yearwood slowly adds them to the wet mixture. Once the dough’s formed she shapes it into balls. After rolling each one in cinnamon sugar the cooking show places them on a baking sheet and puts them in the oven. Yearwood’s Snickerdoodles are done about 10 minutes later.
