MICROWAVE SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES
So you haven’t done the dishes for over a week and your roommate is super mad at you. Do you know what would make them happy? If your first answer was to do the dishes like they asked and not make them a huge batch of cookies, then you’re working harder, not smarter. Snickerdoodles are an absolute classic, and you can bake them in a microwave without adding too much to the mess that is your kitchenette.
The word “Snickerdoodle” is one of the most fun words to say, especially if you’re impersonating Sean Connery, but where in the world did that word come from? The answer: probably Germany. There’s a theory that it’s actually a variation on the word “Schneckennudeln,” which means “snail dumpling.” Honestly, “snail dumpling” makes pretty much no sense, and “Schneckennudeln” is actually impossible to say while drunk.
VARIATIONS ON MICROWAVE SNICKERDOODLES
There are all sorts of things you can add to your Snickerdoodles, but what about dunking your cookies? You can go to the classic milk route, but here are some other fun things to try.
- Melted chocolate
- Caramel
- Frosting
- Confectioner’s sugar
PLATE IT UP
Serve it with vanilla ice cream (or butter pecan which is basically the best combination ever for snickerdoodles) and enjoy!
SAVE SOME FOR LATER
Snickerdoodles will stay good at room temperature for up to 2 days, as long as you wrap them to keep them from going stale. If you want to reheat, sprinkle with a bit of water and microwave for 5-7 seconds covered with a wet paper towel.

MICROWAVE TABLE
- 1,000 watts or higher: Higher wattage, lower cook time. Our microwave is about 1,250 watts, but if you have one with about 1,000 watts you will want to cook in 36-second intervals. Check the cookies in between each time you cook them to make sure you get the right consistency and don’t burn them.
- 700 watts: Microwaves under about 900 don’t heat things evenly or consistently, so don’t go anywhere while you’re cooking. Cook the cookies in 51-second intervals.
