Frequently asked questions – FAQ

What to use instead of cream of tartar in snickerdoodles?

If you don’t have the cream of tartar don’t be scared, you can still enjoy these giant snickerdoodle cookies.

Use lemon juice at a 1:2 ratio. So for every ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, you’ll need to use ½ teaspoon lemon juice. Instead of adding it with the dry ingredients, you can add it with the vanilla and egg and mix everything together then continue with the recipe.

How to store snickerdoodle cupcake cookies?

You can store these cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Because they have cream cheese frosting it’s better not to leave them out at room temperature.

If you do prefer to leave them out at room temperature though, you can leave them unfrosted in an airtight container, and then whenever you’re ready to enjoy, frost them and enjoy!

Can I freeze CRUMBL snickerdoodle cupcake cookies?

Absolutely! I usually prefer freezing the cookies without frosting them in an airtight container. I also freeze the frosting in a separate air tight container. Whenever I’m ready to enjoy these cookies, I thaw both the frosting and the cookies in the fridge overnight.

Whip the frosting before piping it on the cookies and enjoying them.
