Epic Snickerdoodles From Jessie Sheehan

This fancy bakery-style cookie is ready in no time. Because of course the queen of easy-peasy desserts, Jessie Sheehan, knows all the genius tricks for making a truly epic snickerdoodle, without an epic wait. As Jessie writes in Snackable Bakes about this recipe, which she calls 'Epic Snickerdoodles for Stephanie' in the book, "Snickerdoodles are my recipe tester Steph’s most coveted cookie and maybe now mine, too. These are ’doodles of the slightly puffy variety, and they are soft-middled, crispy-edged, and delish. I do go out on a bit of a limb here and call for adding brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to the cookie dough—none of which is traditional, but all of which you’ll be into, so don’t worry. Please melt your butter only until most of it has melted. A few soft, remaining butter chunks ensure it will cool quickly, and cool butter = cool dough = cookies that don’t spread. Finally, a short bake time at a high temp is the snickerdoodle badge of honor, so don’t be tempted to go long and low. Neither Steph, nor I, will be happy if you do."
