Maple Snickerdoodles (2024)

These soft and chewy maple snickerdoodles are so easy to make! Thepure maple syrup flavor adds a sweet twist on the classicsnickerdoodle recipe! These are sure to be a total crowd pleaser!

These chewy maple snickerdoodles might just be the best snickerdoodles I’ve ever had. I’m a huge fan of the classic snickerdoodle recipe, but these snickerdoodles with maple syrup?? Game changer.

The Holiday.A Christmas movie? Or an all-year-around movie?

There are some movies that are obviously Christmas movies (Jingle All the Way,The Santa Clause, Home Alone, Prancer, One Magic Christmas,etc.), but there are some, likeThe Holiday, that are a bit ambiguous as to whether or not they can be classified as justa Christmas movie.

Perhaps I don’t really viewThe Holidayas a Christmas movie, because it feels more like a romantic comedy that happens to occur during the Christmas season rather than a Christmas movie that happens to have a romantic storyline.

I don’t know, I’m probably just splitting hairs here. My sister is on my side while my brother seems to view it as strictly a Christmas movie. He also classifiesSerendipity, You’ve Got Mail,andDiehard inthe Christmas category, so I take his opinion with a grain of salt. 😉

Regardless of your feelings, for me, snickerdoodles andThe Holidaygo hand in hand. I can’t hear the word ‘doodle’ and not think of either the cookie or the scene where Miles calls Iris a “doodle prodigy.”

Once you bake a batch of these chewy maple snickerdoodles, let me tell you, everyone will be calling you a doodle prodigy. And really, who doesn’t want that? #Christmasdreamscomingtrue

These are like a combination of these molasses cookies and these snickerdoodles. They’re nice and sweet without being overly sweet, and they have an amazingly soft and chewy texture that’s unbeatable.

I made a small batch of these over Thanksgiving, thinking that between the pies, cheesecake, and other chocolate sweets we had around the house, a few of these maplesnickerdoodleswould suffice. Well, lesson learned. When making a batch of these, do not halve the recipe. If anything, make a double batch. 😉

Let’s just say, these were well loved. I’ve also been told these are extremely well loved with ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. So, you have options when it comes to plowing through this plate of maple snickerdoodles.

Soft & Chewy Maple Snickerdoodles Tips & Tricks:

• Snickerdoodle dough needs to be chilled. Unfortunately, at least with this snickerdoodle recipe, there’s no way around it. Chilling the dough makes it much easier to handle when rolling into a ball.
• Definitely use pure maple syrup in this recipe. Any of the knock-off stuff just won’t taste as good.
• Even though this is an incredibly easy snickerdoodle recipe, it is important to make sure you watch them carefully as they bake, because snickerdoodles can over bake easily. They can kind of go from under done to perfect to over done in a matter of seconds.

And just likeThe Holiday, these are perfect all year long. 😉
