Snickerdoodle recipe: Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside

I am sure there has been a lot of baking and cooking going on during the lockdown period. Each week while staying at home, we have baked some sort of treat we could eat. First, it was an orange cake, followed by an apple crumble cake. This time I was looking for something a little different, and I found snickerdoodles. A little different from the usual cookie recipe, these biscuits are soft and chewy on the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside. They were quite delicious.

Here is a simple snickerdoodle recipe that should be flop proof, except maybe for the shape. We aimed for a round biscuit, but some came out rather oblong instead, but hey, it all goes down the same way.
