I Tested BA's Best Snickerdoodles: Bon Appétit Review #62

Today I'm testing out Rick Martinez's recipe for BA's Best Snickerdoodles Developed from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. Last week a lot of you voted that you wanted to see this recipe tested, so I'm trying it out for you now. The cookie texture was soft, somewhat fluffy, and slightly cake-like -- but it still had a nice chewiness to it, which I enjoyed! The cookie flavor was very mild with a hint of vanilla. The star of the show really is the cinnamon and sugar coating that fully covers the outside of each cookie. These were a huge hit when I took them into my office, so I think you'll enjoy them as well!

What’s your favorite type of cookie? I like chewy chocolate chip and my grandma’s cream cheese sugar cookies the best.

Browned the butter, rolled in espresso powder and sugar and added espresso powder to the dough.

I’m waiting for my dough to be ready. I didn’t melt the butter..hopefully mine turn out good!

[rettaconnelly]

My cookies came out good. One batch I forgot to roll in the cinnamon sugar. Had to grab them out quick and sprinkle the sugar on top 🤪

Hoped you would do what I did and make the focaccia this week. Super easy and even without the garlic butter step, sooo good. But I know you’re a 🍪 guy.

... I'm who's Then... ohh. Why is everything abbreviated?

[MrClarkisgod]

Yeah. My dough is really firm. It's not soupy at all. How much butter did you use. You said 2 sticks.... Which should 1 cup. But I'm watching the video and that pyrex cup looks almost full. I think you used more butter than you said.

[lordken]

I followed the recipe Exactly and mines didn’t came out right..my dough never thicken

[douglabrecque]

better the second day and you have to slightly undercook them. In this video, they turned out a tad more flat and overcooked by about 90 seconds. Also, the use of a real vanilla bean that the recipe calls for does make a difference.

Those look a little bit overdone ❤ Im sure its good, but snickerdoodles should be cakey and moist inside. The top should crackle❤
