This snickerdoodle recipe is the BEST i’ve tried by far! My son must have eaten a dozen yesterday. Excellent crispy edges and chewy center!

Hi Colleen,
What we usually buy are 1 lb blocks of Farmer John brand lard which we can find in many of the local grocers. I’d use my nose to tell if you meat department’s lard is of the quality you’d want for cookies & pie crusts. It should have a fairly clean and very mild pork smell and that’s it. We never bother freezing the lard, but actually keep it in our second fridge. Lasts a long time. We’ve never checked the Whole Foods around here for lard, but there is a good chance they should have some. Latino markets almost always sell some pretty good lard. Good luck, and if you aren’t finding a lard you like, you can always substitute vegetable shortening in a pinch.

Do you just use the boxed lard from the meat department for this, or is there a better quality product I should look for? And do you know if I can freeze the leftover lard for later use? I do have a Whole Foods near by, if they would have something…

Oh you are being bratty Can’t wait to read what you have up your sleeve.

What lovely cookies and what great restraint, to freeze them and not make them all at once when they are that good!
Have a great week!

I think it is about 3 dozen, but we never cook the whole batch at once (most gets frozen) and we like our cookies on the smaller side. Enjoy the snickerdoodles!

These look sooooo good! My first attempt at Snickerdoodles left me with flat, crunchy (but still tasty) cookies – I can’t wait to try these! Just one quick question: what is the yield on this recipe? 2 dozen?

These look fantastic! I’m making snickerdoodles for some friends of mine and I couldn’t find my moms recipe anywhere, so I googled and holy cow these look fabulous.

I saw that you could freeze them(yay!) but what about chilling the dough before baking? In my moms recipe(which also uses lard or shortening if i remember correctly) it says to chill for an hour and then put on the cookie sheets.

Thanks for the fab recipe!

Your cookies look amazing. I’ve been trying to find a good snickerdoodle recipe. I haven’t liked the past ones I’ve tried. I’ll definitely try this one out!
