Soft and chewy gingerbread cookies with the flavors of a snickerdoodle cookie. These gingerbread snickerdoodle cookies are the perfect combination of these two classic Christmas cookies. They are so soft and chewy, they have all of the flavors of a classic soft baked gingerbread cookie. And the classic cinnamon and sugar coating of a snickerdoodle cookie. They would make the perfect Christmas cookie to bake this year with friends and family.

The cookie dough for these cookies is made similar to a classic soft gingerbread cookie. Except with the addition of cream of tartar to give the cookies that classic snickerdoodle flavor. They are also rolled into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking, just like traditional snickerdoodle cookies. Bake until they are done in the center. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
