*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.These snickerdoodles are so good! They aren't the usual cinnamon spiced cookie you see though. I used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar to give it more depth in flavor and these do not disappoint! They are soft and not too sweet, but oh so good that it will satisfy your sweet tooth. These guys are a great treat to add to your cookie list for the holidays or even just to have something to snack on over the weekend. Kids will even love them in their lunch box.Now the reason these snickerdoodles are so good is because it's made with brown sugar! Brown sugar has molasses in it which adds so much flavor to whatever you make with it. I find that the brown sugar in these cookies elevates the cinnamon in them and just overall gives it a flavor boost. Plus I just love to bake with brown sugar!

Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. My absolute favorite is the BlueQ oven mitts. I have a collection of them and I love them! They are great quality and it's nice to have a kitchen item with a sense of humor.
